2013 Map of Burke

About this map

Canyon Cr carves a path through the southern portion of this region, anchoring a series of small mountain settlements including Mace, Burke, and Black Bear. This area within the Coeur d'Alene National Forest represents a landscape defined by narrow gulches and steep ridgelines, where human habitation is tightly constrained by the terrain. Further west, the communities of Frisco and Gem sit along the drainage, while Cornwall is positioned just east of the mountain spurs. To the north, the drainage of Prichard Cr serves as a secondary corridor, passing by the settlement of Raven and the Murray Cem. The map illustrates a network of forest roads and national forest development routes that provide access to high-elevation features like Goose Peak and Tamarack Saddle, reflecting a modern era of timber management and recreation in a region once famous for its deep-earth mineral extraction.
