About this map

The Salmo Mountain Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over this remote high-country landscape, where the borders of Washington, Idaho, and British Columbia converge. This mid-century survey, photorevised in the 1980s, details a wilderness intersection dominated by the Salmo-Priest Wilderness and the adjacent Colville and Kaniksu National Forests. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent summits including Shedroof Mtn, Leola Peak, and Prouty Peak.

A network of named pack trails provides the primary means of traversal through the drainage systems of the South Salmo River, Hughes Fork, and Sullivan Creek. Notable landmarks for backcountry navigation and local history include Little Snowy Top and the seasonal hydrology of Gypsy Meadows Creek and Thunder Creek. The map meticulously records the international and state boundaries that carve through these ridges, marking the complex jurisdictional geography of the northern Selkirk range.
