1996 Map of Cataract Peak

About this map

The Little North Fork Coeur D'Alene River winds through the western edge of this landscape, defining a network of steep drainages within the Coeur D'Alene National Forest. By the late 1990s, the area shows a distinct pattern of forest management and early-century resource extraction, marked by various prospects, an adit, and several gravel pits used for local infrastructure. High-altitude landmarks like Cataract Peak and Colt Mountain overlook a complex system of ridges and saddles, including Solitaire Saddle and Cataract Ridge.
