1997 Map of Black Peak

About this map

Idaho and Montana borderlines converge at the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness on this late 1990s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by industrial extraction and forest management. The presence of a Mine Shaft and multiple prospects near the Duthie site indicates the history of mineral exploration in these mountains, while a prominent Gravel Pit along Beaver Creek suggests ongoing resource use. High-altitude landmarks like the Sex Peak Lookout and Black Peak overlook a complex network of drainage basins, including White Pine Creek and Cole Creek. The map documents the administrative boundaries of several protected lands, showing how the Kaniksu National Forest is managed by the Kootenai National Forest, intersecting with the Coeur d'Alene National Forest and Lolo National Forest.
