2023 Map of Vulcan Mountain

About this map

The Kettle River winds through the lower portion of this terrain, marking the southern boundary of a landscape dominated by the high elevations of Vulcan Mtn and Little Vulcan Mtn. Set within the Colville National Forest in Ferry County, the area is defined by a dense network of drainages including Catherine Creek, Goosmus Creek, and Tenas Mary Creek. These watercourses carve through the mountainous topography, which is accessed by a system of rural roads and forest routes like Catherine Creek Rd and Tonata Creek Rd. The proximity to the international border is evidenced by Border Rd at the northern edge, reflecting the remote character of this timbered region. Local development is concentrated primarily along the river corridor, where Co Hwy 530 and Kettle River Rd follow the valley floor past named residential spurs like Riverview Ln and Bent Birch Way.
