About this map

The Coeur d'Alene Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Coeur d'Alene National Forest, where the border of Kootenai and Shoshone counties follows the ridgelines. Central to the map is Bumblebee Peak, a prominent summit overlooking a complex network of drainage basins including Bumblebee Creek and Dismal Creek. The settlement of Laverne and the open flats of Bumblebee Meadow provide the primary points of human reference in an area otherwise defined by timber management and recreational infrastructure.

Modern access is defined by a dense system of Forest Service roads and specialized tracks, such as the Steamboat OHV Trl and Laverne Creek OHV Trl. Notable terrain features include Tepee Peak and Hemlock Mtn, which are separated by significant saddles like Skull Saddle and Stull Saddle. The drainage pattern is particularly intricate along the eastern edge, where Hull Creek and Halifax Creek cut deep through the mountain flanks toward Devils Gorge.
