About this map

Kaniksu National Forest dominates this section of northeast Washington, where the terrain is defined by the drainage network of Skookum Creek and its many branches. The landscape is characterized by prominent elevations such as Cooks Mtn and Skookum Peak, providing a high-relief backdrop to a series of alpine and valley water bodies. To the west, the Pend Oreille River flows along the margin, serving as a primary geographical anchor for the region.

The map reveals a network of forest roads and local lanes, such as Le Clerc Rd S and Pondoray Shores Rd, which hint at the seasonal recreation and residential pockets near the river. Significant natural features include the expansive Conklin Meadow and several secluded lakes like Bead Lake, Mystic Lake, and Horseshoe Lake. This survey provides a clear view of the wilderness character and logging infrastructure typical of the Selkirk Mountains foothills during the early 21st century.
