About this map

Kaniksu National Forest and Colville National Forest dominate this high-altitude landscape in Pend Oreille County, where the terrain is defined by a series of prominent summits and an intricate network of mountain drainages. The northern reaches are carved by the various branches of Tacoma Creek, including Little Tacoma Creek and the North Fork South Fork Tacoma Creek. These waterways descend from notable peaks such as Boulder Mtn and the uniquely named Dirty Shirt.

The presence of the Batey Bould Trl and Batey Bould Loop Trl suggests a landscape shaped by modern forestry access and backcountry recreation. In the southern sections, the topography rises toward Calispell Peak and Little Calispell Peak, while the headwaters of Trimble Creek and the East Fork Small Creek drain toward the basin containing Conger Pond and Conger Lake. This 2023 survey illustrates the complex watershed patterns and protected forest boundaries that characterize this part of northeastern Washington.
