About this map

Salmo Mountain stands as a primary landmark in this late 1960s survey of the high Selkirks, where the boundaries of Washington, Idaho, and British Columbia converge. This wilderness landscape is defined by its network of administrative corridors and historic transit routes, including a prominent Lookout Tower atop Salmo and numerous corridors marked as Pack Trail or Jeep Trail.

The map details the intersection of the Colville National Forest and Kaniksu National Forest, tracing the headwaters of the South Salmo River and the complex drainage of Sullivan Creek. High summits like Little Snowy Top and Prouty Peak overlook the isolated Hughes Meadows, illustrating the area's significance for forest management and fire observation before the advent of modern aerial surveillance.
