2024 Map of Canuck Peak

About this map

The Idaho-Montana border bisects this high-elevation landscape, where the Kaniksu National Forest and Kootenai National Forest meet. The terrain is defined by the peaks of the Purcell Mountains, including the prominent Canuck Peak and Buckhorn Mtn. A network of Forest Service roads and specialized paths, such as the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail and the Spread Creek Snowmobile Trail, facilitate travel through these remote summits. High-altitude water bodies like Spruce Lake, Copper Lake, and Hidden Lake are tucked into the drainages of Canuck Creek and Copper Creek. This modern survey reveals how traditional resource management roads, like National Forest Development Road 871, now coexist with established recreational corridors across Canuck Pass.
