About this map

Cabinet and the Cabinet Gorge Reservoir anchor this landscape where the Clark Fork river system cuts through the mountainous borderlands of Idaho and Montana. The terrain is defined by the steep elevation gains of the Coeur d'Alene Mountains and Elk Ridge, while the drainage network includes Gold Cr, Dry Cr, and the W Fork Elk Cr. Human activity is concentrated along the river corridor, evidenced by the R & R Field Airport and a network of service roads such as the Kootenai Cabinet Wagon Rd.

Spanning the Kaniksu National Forest and Coeur d'Alene National Forest, the map captures a region dominated by timberland and hydroelectric infrastructure. Notable high points like Beaver Peak and Delyle Ridge overlook deep drainages such as Pew Gulch and Silta Draw. The survey provides a clear view of the complex topography that historically challenged transit between the Idaho Panhandle and western Montana.
