About this map

Kootenai National Forest and Kaniksu National Forest dominate this borderland where the Idaho panhandle meets Montana's high country. The landscape is defined by the sharp descent of the Cabinet Mountains and Purcell Mountains toward the winding Kootenai River. This 2020 survey documents the complex interface between protected wilderness and rural access, featuring an intricate network of forest development roads such as Old Hwy Two Lp and Columbia Ln.

A network of drainage systems including Curley Creek, Kingsley Creek, and Lime Creek carve through the steep elevations of Haystack Mtn and Cross Mtn. Local infrastructure is concentrated along the river corridor, where the Kootenai River Walk provides a specialized route near the state line. Farther north, the seclusion of Bonner Lake and the prominent heights of Red Top/Murphy Mountain highlight the topographical diversity of this remote Northwest region.
