About this map

Tacoma Peak and the high ridges of the Selkirk Mountains define this landscape in the northern panhandle of Washington. The 2011 survey reveals an intricate network of forest and mountain roads, including Trimble Creek Rd and Tacoma Creek Rd, which provide access to the drainages of Tacoma Creek and Calispell Peak Creek. The terrain is punctuated by distinctive local landmarks with colorful names like Dirty Shirt and Fourth of July Mountain, reflecting the area's history of backcountry navigation and exploration.

Water management in these highlands is evidenced by infrastructure such as the Conger Pond Dam and Conger Lake Dam in the southeastern corner. These features, along with names like Boulder Mountain and Little Calispell Peak, show a region primarily used for timber, resource management, and outdoor recreation, where small creeks such as Cusick Creek and East Fork Small Creek feed the larger river systems below.
