About this map

The Cabinet Mountains define the high-elevation divide along the Idaho-Montana border, where the Bonner County line meets Lincoln County. This wilderness landscape is split between the Kaniksu National Forest to the west and the Kootenai National Forest to the east. The terrain is characterized by steep ridges and glacial basins, holding isolated water bodies like Moose Lake and Spruce Lake.

Logging and recreational access are marked by the Natl Forest Develop Road 473 Rd and the Keeler Snowmobile trail, which navigate the complex drainage systems of Lightning Creek and West Fork Keeler Creek. High peaks such as Benning Mountain, Rattle Mountain, and Twin Peaks provide significant landmarks for those tracing the historic boundaries and rugged topography of the Panhandle National Forests.
