2024 Map of Cathedral Peak

About this map

The Coeur d'Alene Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Coeur d'Alene National Forest. This terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Independence Creek, Tepee Creek, and the North Fork Coeur d'Alene River. The map documents a complex system of forestry and recreational infrastructure, notably the Coeur-D'Alene Divide National Recreation Trail and the Independence Creek National Recreation Trail, which track the ridgelines and valley floors of this heavily timbered region. Significant vertical landmarks like Cathedral Peak and Amethyst Peak rise above the surrounding slopes, while the eastern edge is marked by the Shoshone Range. Local features such as Big Meadows and the prominent Steamboat Rocks provide distinct points of reference for those tracing the historic trails and forest roads that crisscross these peaks.
