About this map

Kanisku National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape in Boundary County, defined by a series of prominent peaks and glacial lakes. The terrain is anchored by major summits including Parker Peak, Fisher Peak, and Pyramid Peak, the latter of which sits adjacent to Pyramid Pass. This area is a critical watershed, with numerous drainages such as Trout Cr, Ball Cr, and Parker Cr flowing from the heights. High-country water bodies like Big Fisher Lake, Long Mountain Lake, and the Ball Lakes cluster are scattered throughout the northern Cabinet Mountains region.

Evidence of forest management and fire observation is clear at the Russell Mountain Lookout on Russell Mtn, situated near Russell Ridge. Access into these steep reaches is provided by a limited network of forest roads, primarily Trout Creek Rd and Ball Creek Rd. The map also reveals a curious international character in its naming conventions for small tributaries, featuring Irish Cr, English Cr, Dutch Cr, French Cr, and Swiss Cr.
