1997 Map of Bloom Peak

About this map

High peaks and deep drainages define this remote section of the Montana and Idaho border, where the Coeur d'Alene National Forest meets the Kaniksu National Forest. The landscape is dominated by notable elevations such as Bloom Peak, Eightyseven Mile Peak, and Minton Peak, the latter featuring a charted Lookout. A complex network of watercourses, including Marten Creek and Trout Creek, feeds into the regional watershed, while a high-altitude Mine and an isolated Heliport suggest the area's history of resource extraction and fire management. Evidence of backcountry navigation is seen in labels like Taylor Saddle and the Recreation Trail, alongside the secluded Ninetythree Mile Lake near the southern border. This 1997 revision of 1960s topography provides a detailed look at the Cabinet Ranger District before modern satellite mapping altered the documentation of these wilderness areas.
