1967 Map of Roman Nose

About this map

Roman Nose Lookout stands at the southern heights of this high-elevation landscape, overlooking a series of glacial basins within the Kaniksu National Forest. In the late 1960s, this area of Boundary County was defined by its protected status and seasonal access, including a large State Game Preserve spanning the northern half of the quadrangle. The map reveals a high-altitude network of small alpine bodies of water such as Roman Nose Lakes, Cooks Lake, and Bottleneck Lake. A primary Campground near the Roman Nose massif serves as a hub for the various Jeep Trails that traverse the ridges. The drainage patterns are clearly established by several steep watercourses, including Myrtle Creek and Caribou Creek, which flow through the deep valleys between Snow Ridge and Caribou Ridge.
