About this map

Tacoma Peak and the surrounding high country of the Kaniksu National Forest define this landscape along the border of Stevens and Pend Oreille counties. In the early 1990s, the region was managed as part of the Colville National Forest, characterized by a complex drainage system where Tacoma Creek and its branches, the North Fork and South Fork, carve through the terrain. Notable summits include Boulder Mtn, Calispell Peak, and Forth of July Mountain.

Evidence of human activity is centered primarily around the Newport Colville Rd and the curious label of Dirty Shirt, while the eastern portion of the sheet shows the more gradual descent toward Cusick Creek and Conger Lake. The map details a network of forest service roads and high-altitude peaks, including Little Calispell Pk, reflecting the industrial and recreational management of this timbered wilderness in the late twentieth century.
