2011 Map of Bumblebee Peak

About this map

Bumblebee Peak and the surrounding high ridges of Kootenai County are documented here in this 2011 topographic survey. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where the Little North Fork and Bumblebee Creek meet at the Bumblebee Meadow. This area is primarily accessed through an extensive system of Forest Service routes, including the Nat For Dev Rd 323 and Hemlock Mtn Rd, which navigate the steep elevations between Hemlock Mountain and Tepee Peak. The map highlights several remote recreational sites such as Breakwater Campground and Bumblebee Campground, as well as geological landmarks like Devils Gorge and Skull Saddle. These labels reflect the early 21st-century management of the Idaho panhandle, focusing on watershed protection and outdoor access in a region marked by notable terrain features like Shell Ridge and Browns Gulch.
