About this map

Colville National Forest dominates this landscape along the international boundary, where the terrain rises toward the heights of Vulcan Mountain and Little Vulcan Mountain. The northern edge of the map is defined by the Canadian border, indicated by the winding path of Border Rd. High-altitude features like the Vulcan Lookout suggest the area's role in forest management and wildfire monitoring.

In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the Kettle River meanders through the valley, flanked by small access roads and minor settlements such as Hudson. A complex network of drainages, including Goosmus Creek, LaFleur Creek, and Tenas Mary Creek, carves through the mountainside, feeding into the river system below. The presence of Customs Rd near the river reflects the proximity to the border and the historical importance of regulated transit between Washington and British Columbia.
