2014 Map of Timber Mountain

About this map

Colville National Forest and Kanisku National Forest converge across this high-elevation landscape in Pend Oreille County. The terrain is defined by prominent summits such as Granite Peak and Timber Mtn, the latter of which features the Timber Mountain Lookout. This 2014 survey documents a network of forest service routes, including Tacoma Divide Rd and Ruby Creek Rd, which provide access to secluded clearings like Lost Meadow and Rufus Meadows. The drainage pattern is complex, with headwaters for Ruby Cr, Little Ruby Cr, and Cusick Cr carving through the steep topography. The map illustrates the specialized infrastructure of modern forest management, showing the relationship between historic high points and the access roads that have developed around them since the early twentieth century.
