About this map

Colville National Forest dominates this mid-century survey of the high country in Ferry County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages and named peaks. The terrain is organized by prominent ridges like Huckleberry Ridge and Boulder Ridge, with water flowing through numerous forks of the Deer Cr and Togo Cr systems. Evidence of Forest Service administration and early settlement is found at the Summit Guard Sta and the Ryan Cabin, which sits near Ryan Hill in the southwestern quadrant.

The topography transitions from the northern boundary at Boundary Mtn toward southern landmarks like Mt Leona and Profanity Pk. This era of the forest is captured just after the Second World War, showing the primitive road network including Boulder Creek Road and various unimproved trails that supported fire lookouts and early resource management. The map provides a detailed record of the natural nomenclature used by foresters and early residents, from Sentinel Butte to Bulldog Mtn.
