About this map

The international border between the United States and Canada defines the northern edge of this high-altitude landscape, where the Idaho and Montana state lines intersect at the Boundary and Lincoln County divide. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage basins and ridges within the Kaniksu National Forest and Kootenai National Forest. Dominant peaks like Canuck Peak and American Mtn tower over deep valleys carved by Canuck Creek and American Creek.

Remote infrastructure of the mid-1960s is visible through the system of forest access roads and primitive trails. Pack trails lead to secluded water bodies such as Copper Lake and Spruce Lake, while technical landmarks like the Copper Connection Road and Dugals Loop navigate the steep slopes of Copper Ridge. Signs of high-country exploration and industry are evident in the labeling of a Borrow Pit and various Prospects near Davis Creek, marking the intersection of resource management and topographical survey in this isolated frontier region.
