About this map

The Idaho-Montana border runs through this high-country terrain, marking a boundary that separates Shoshone County from Sanders County. The landscape is dominated by the intersection of three major federal land reserves: Kaniksu National Forest, Coeur D'Alene National Forest, and Lolo National Forest. These forests are defined by a series of prominent summits including Black Peak, Sex Peak, and Emma Peak, which anchor the high ridges above a complex network of drainages.

Water flows from these peaks through numerous named gulches and creeks, such as Bear Gulch, Green Gulch, and Big Beaver Creek. The small Beaver Lake sits high in the southern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a landmark near the headwaters of Dixie Creek. Sparse access is provided by isolated forestry routes like Whitepine Creek Rd and Big Beaver Creek Rd, illustrating the remote and specialized character of this timber and conservation landscape.
