2014 Map of Winchester Peak

About this map

Winchester Peak dominates this section of the Kanisku National Forest, serving as a high-altitude anchor for a complex network of mountain drainage systems. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and divergent forks of major local waterways, including the N Fork Calispell Cr and the Middle Fork Calispell Cr to the south. The rugged geography influenced a timber-centric infrastructure, evidenced by the numerous Forest Service developments such as Nat For Dev Rd 73 and the winding Winchester Creek Rd. Towards the eastern edge, more established local access emerges via Flowery Trail Rd and Danforth Rd, marking the transition from high forest ridges toward the lower valley elevations. Small-scale residential or agricultural footprints appear along named tracks like Scheller Ln and Penny Ln, illustrating the localized settlement patterns within the Pend Oreille Co panhandle.
