1969 Map of Pyramid Peak

About this map

Kaniksu National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Boundary County, where a network of trails and primitive routes connect remote peaks and glacial lakes. The 1969 field-checked data shows a terrain dominated by significant massifs like Pyramid Peak and Parker Peak, which rise above a series of drainages including Trout Creek and Fisher Creek. The southern portion of the sheet is largely occupied by the Myrtle Creek State Game Preserve, an area managed for wildlife protection at the time of this survey. Notable water features like Big Fisher Lake, Pyramid Lake, and Ball Lakes are positioned among the ridges, often accessible only via a pack trail. This map captures the administrative and natural boundaries of the Idaho panhandle's backcountry during the late 1960s, documenting the drainage patterns of Spanish Creek, Finn Creek, and Dutch Creek as they flow from the high divides of Russell Ridge.
