About this map

Winchester Peak dominates this drainage basin within the Selkirk Mountains region of Pend Oreille County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of mountain streams, including Small Creek, Graham Creek, and the many branches of North Fork Calispell Creek. These waters flow through a terrain marked by early 21st-century resource extraction and rural infrastructure, centered around Danforth Quarry and the Elliott Dam on the South Fork Small Creek.

A complex system of forest and access roads like Smalle Creek Rd and Winchester Creek Rd provides access to the higher elevations and creek valleys. This survey illustrates how the local geography is carved by both natural watercourses like Dorchester Creek and human imprints such as Scheeler Ln and Bartlette Rd, showing the continued importance of timber and land management in this portion of Washington.
