2011 Map of Roman Nose

About this map

Roman Nose Lakes sit at the center of this high-elevation terrain within Boundary County, serving as a primary water source for the surrounding drainage basins. The landscape is defined by its series of distinct summits and passes, including Cooks Peak and Bottleneck Peak, which separate the various creek systems. A network of glacial tarns including Cooks Lake, Brooks Lake, and Snow Lake are tucked into the steep topography, feeding into the Pack River and smaller tributaries like Caribou Creek and Myrtle Creek. The map documents the primitive transportation network of the early 21st century, where routes like Snow Creek Rd and Ruby Creek Rd provide the only established access into the high country. These roads and passes, such as Caribou Pass and Ruby Pass, illustrate the historic corridors used to navigate this part of the Selkirk Mountains.
