About this map

Winchester Peak dominates this corner of the Selkirk Mountains, where the drainage systems of Small Creek and North Fork Calispell Creek converge. The topography recorded in this 1968 field survey reveals a landscape primarily defined by its watercourses and early access routes, including several named branches like South Fk Small Cr and Middle Fk Calispell Cr.

Tracing the path of the Flowery Winchester Trail and the Flowery Trail Road illustrates the historic transit patterns across the Stevens Co Pend Oreille Co line. While the area lacks dense residential settlement, the presence of landmarks like Knapp Pond and various named tributaries such as Gletty Creek and Dorchester Creek provides a precise geographical record for researchers studying the hydrologic history of the Washington panhandle.
