1968 Map of Tacoma Peak

About this map

The boundary between Stevens and Pend Oreille counties runs through this high-elevation landscape, where the Selkirk Mountains' complex drainage patterns are meticulously charted. The map centers on the heights of Tacoma Peak and Calispell Peak, showing a network of specialized travel routes including a Jeep Trail and a Pack Trail used for mountain access before more modern road development. Notable water features like Conger Lake and Conger Pond sit in the southeastern reaches, while the oddly named Dirty Shirt landmark stands out along the ridge south of Tacoma Creek. The detailed topography reveals the many forks of Tacoma Creek, including the North Fork Tacoma Creek and South Fork Tacoma Creek, illustrating the watershed's role in the local ecology during the mid-to-late 20th century.
