2020 Map of Caribou Creek

About this map

Kaniksu National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in northern Bonner Co and Boundary Co, where the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail winds through a complex system of ridges and drainages. The southwestern corner of the quadrangle opens onto the pristine waters of Upper Priest Lake, connected via The Thorofare and surrounded by Armstrong Meadows. This area is defined by its dramatic relief, reaching peaks like Phoebe Tip and Lookout Mtn, while water features like Caribou Falls and Mollies Lake are tucked away in the upper basins. The network of forest service roads, including Bugle Creek RD and Lucky Creek RD, provides the primary access to these remote watersheds, illustrating the modern management of these timberlands and protected wilderness areas.
