About this map

Salmo Mountain stands at the heart of this high-elevation landscape where the international boundary of the United States of America meets the state line between Washington and Idaho. The 2014 survey documents a protected wilderness environment characterized by deep drainages and prominent peaks, including Shedroof Mtn and Leola Peak. The terrain is managed across the Colville National Forest and Kanisku National Forest, with a significant portion dedicated to the Salmo Mountain Research Natural Area.

Tracing through the southern half of the quadrangle, the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail provides a continuous route across high ridges and through Gypsy Meadows. Water systems are defined by the Sullivan Creek drainage to the west and the Hughes Fork to the east. The map captures the complex administrative geography of Pend Oreille County and Boundary County in a region dominated by forestry and conservation.
