About this map

Clifty Mountain and the surrounding peaks of Bonner County define this northern Idaho landscape, characterized by a complex network of high ridges and drainage basins. The area’s industrial history is anchored by the Boulder Mine, situated on the western slopes of Iron Mountain. This site overlooks the headwaters of Boulder Creek, which serves as a central hydrological axis for the quadrangle, joined by numerous tributaries with evocative local names such as Found Girl Creek, Hunt Girl Creek, and Rummy Creek.

Transport through this vertical terrain is primarily facilitated by Boulder Creek Rd, which winds through the central valley between McGinty Ridge and Buck Mountain. The presence of Divide Lake near the summit of Boulder Mountain highlights the alpine nature of the region. This survey captures the intersection of wilderness and resource extraction, where the topography transitions from the heights of Middle Mountain down to the secluded reaches of Plank Creek and Pouch Creek.
