About this map

Clark Fork and Cabinet Gorge Reservoir dominate this landscape where the borders of Idaho and Montana converge. The small settlement of Cabinet sits near the reservoir's edge, supported by energy infrastructure like the Cabinet Gorge Substation and the nearby powerplant. This late-century survey documents a region defined by industrial utility and resource management, including a fish hatchery and various extractions such as the Carpie Mine and several gravel pits.

Deep within the Kaniksu National Forest, the terrain rises sharply toward Beaver Peak and along Delyle Ridge. The map captures the complex administrative boundaries of the panhandle, where Bonner and Sanders counties meet at the state line, and further south, the intersection with Coeur d'Alene National Forest. Small mountain waters like Schileight Lake and the East Fork contribute to the rugged drainage system that feeds the central gorge.
