2020 Map of Scotchman Lake

About this map

The Colville National Forest dominates this northeastern Washington landscape, defined by a complex drainage system within the Selkirk Mountains. Elevated peaks like Molybdenite Mtn and Hanlon Mtn overlook a series of alpine and sub-alpine water bodies, including the significant reach of Sullivan Lake in the northwest and the smaller Deception Lake tucked into the high country. The terrain is marked by the prominent Dry Canyon Ridge and the southern Coyote Hill, which guide the flow of numerous named watercourses such as Harvey Creek and White-Man Cr. In the southwest corner, the Pend Oreille River briefly appears, anchoring the map's lowest elevations. The inclusion of the Pau Pac Tioga route suggests modern forest management and access within this protected wilderness area, while the clusters of Anderson Lake, Little Anderson Lake, and Caldwell Lake provide clear markers for recreational and environmental study.
