About this map

Coeur d'Alene National Forest dominates this mountain landscape along the border of Kootenai and Shoshone counties. The area is defined by its complex watershed, where high points like Bumblebee Peak, Hemlock Mtn, and Tepee Peak feed a dense network of drainages. The North Fork Coeur d'Alene River winds through the southern portion of the sheet, joined by tributaries such as Bumblebee Creek and Little Tepee Creek.

The presence of the Bumblebee Meadow Campground and landmarks like Laverne Saddle suggest a landscape geared toward forest management and recreational access in the mid-1980s. While human structures are sparse, the naming of features such as Hearse Creek, Coffin Creek, and Dismal Creek provides a glimpse into the character and folklore of the early woodsmen and prospectors who navigated these slopes and ridges, including Shell Ridge.
