2017 Map of Derr Point

About this map

Coeur d'Alene National Forest and Kaniksu National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape of northern Idaho. The terrain is defined by the sharp elevations of the Coeur d'Alene Mountains, where peaks like Whitetail Peak and Larch Mountain overlook a complex system of drainages including Derr Creek and Delyle Creek. Prominent ridges, such as Mosquito Ridge and Delyle Ridge, partition the landscape between the Clark Fork and the S Fork Coeur d'Alene River. This area serves as a critical corridor for forest management and local transport, evidenced by a network of forest roads including Nat For Dev Rd 332 and Clark Fork Rd. Human presence is marked by high-altitude landing strips like Riverlake Airport and Tuka Airport, alongside geological landmarks such as Derr Point and the Buckskin Saddle.
