1968 Map of Winchester Peak

About this map

Winchester Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape along the Stevens Co Pend Oreille Co border in the late 1960s. The terrain is defined by a dense network of mountain drainages, including the North Fork Calispell Creek and Middle Fk Calispell Cr, which feed the larger Calispell Creek system. The map documents the primitive transportation network of the era, consisting of specialized routes like the Flowery Winchester Trail, various Jeep Trails, and a Pack Trail. These routes navigate the steep topography between Small Creek and Graham Creek, reflecting a wilderness area primarily utilized for resource management and seasonal access rather than permanent settlement. Knapp Pond provides a rare point of standing water amidst the numerous descending creeks like Dorchester Creek and Gletty Creek.
