1968 Map of Skookum Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Pend Oreille River flows along the western edge of this terrain, marking a distinct boundary between the river valley and the rising elevations of the Kaniksu National Forest. In the late 1960s, this area functioned as a hub for both natural resource management and scientific research, evidenced by the State Fish Hatchery near Skookum Creek and the specialized Newport Geophysical Observatory. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of the North Fork and South Fork, which carve through high points like Cooks Mountain and Skookum Peak. Settlement is concentrated near the river, where the Skookum Community Center and Le Clerc Road serve the local population, including the residents of the Kalispel Indian Reservation. Numerous high-altitude water bodies, such as Bead Lake and Mystic Lake, suggest a land used for seasonal recreation and timber management.
