About this map

Big Meadows and the surrounding high-country peaks define this section of the Coeur d'Alene National Forest as it was surveyed in the mid-1960s. The landscape is dominated by a complex drainage network feeding into the Coeur d'Alene River and Tepee Creek, where the Senator Creek Campground and Independence Campground provided forest access.

A system of Pack Trails suggests a period of forest management and backcountry travel centered around the Beaver Work Center near the confluence of Marten Creek and the river. Named landmarks like Cathedral Peak, Windfall Peak, and the distinctive Steamboat Rocks near Burnt Creek served as essential navigational markers for foresters and early outdoor enthusiasts in this Shoshone County wilderness.
