About this map

Colville National Forest dominates this section of the Selkirk Mountains in northeast Washington, where a complex network of forest roads and glacial lakes defines the landscape. The geography is anchored by Scotchman Lake and the neighboring Anderson Lake and Little Anderson Lake, which lie just east of the Pend Oreille River corridor. The terrain rises sharply toward the east, reaching summits such as Molybdonite Mtn and Hanlon Mtn.

Transport through this backcountry is illustrated by the intersection of Sullivan Lake Rd and Dry Canyon Rd, providing access to isolated water bodies like Deception Lake and Caldwell Lake. The survey detail captures the drainage patterns of numerous creeks, including Tioga Cr, Maitlen Cr, and W Br LeClerc Cr, which carve through features like Dry Canyon Ridge and Coyote Hill. This map serves as a precise guide for navigating the remote ridges and high-elevation basins of Pend Oreille County.
