About this map

Kaniksu National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in northernmost Boundary County, where a network of forest roads and ridgelines marks the terrain. The topography is anchored by prominent summits such as Shorty Peak, Lone Tree Peak, and Silver Mtn. Drainage patterns are established by numerous creeks, including Boundary Cr and Italian Cr in the north, while Cow Cr and Beaver Cr flow through the central portion.

Access to this remote region is provided via Boundary Creek Rd, Saddle Pass Rd, and Smith Creek Rd. Significant landmarks for backcountry navigation include Shorty Spring and the isolated Canyon Lake tucked beneath Smith Ridge. The map details the intricate elevation changes between Canida Peak on the northern edge and Cutoff Peak to the south, illustrating the complex watershed of the Selkirk Mountains.
