About this map

Kaniksu National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Boundary County, where the Selkirk Mountains create a dense network of glacial cirques and alpine basins. The topography is anchored by the prominent Roman Nose and nearby Bottleneck Peak, which overlook a cluster of namesake water bodies including Roman Nose Lakes and Bottleneck Lake. This 2020 survey illustrates a wilderness primarily accessible via a system of legacy trails and forest roads, reflecting the long-standing management of these lands for recreation and conservation.

Water flows from these heights through a series of steep drainages such as Myrtle Cr and Caribou Cr, eventually feeding into the Pack River. Local history and recreational patterns are evident in the naming of transition points like Caribou Pass and the Roman Nose Interpretive Loop, alongside industrial and access corridors like Snow Creek Rd and Ruby Creek Rd. The map also preserves specific land tract identifiers like pb45 and pb49, providing precise spatial data for researchers and surveyors.
