About this map

The Wigwams and the high ridges of the Selkirk Crest Management Area dominate this section of Boundary County. Compiled from late 1960s aerial photography, the map reveals a landscape defined by sharp drainage divides and high-elevation basins. Glacial cirques hold isolated water bodies such as Two Mouth Lakes, Harrison Lake, and the Beehive Lakes, which feed the complex network of creeks including the Pack River and Myrtle Creek.

The presence of the Squawman Lookout and various named peaks like Goblin Knob and Silver Dollar Peak highlights the region's importance for forest fire observation and management. Much of the territory is partitioned into specific conservation zones, including the Kaniksu National Forest and the Myrtle Creek Game Preserve, illustrating the mid-century administrative structure of Idaho's public lands.
