2017 Map of Farnham Peak

About this map

The Kootenai River snakes in sharp, tight oxbows through the eastern portion of this Boundary County landscape, creating a dramatic hydrological boundary against the rising slopes of the Purcell Mountains. This 2017 survey reveals the stark transition from the low-lying river valley, serviced by local routes like W Side Rd and Co Rd 18, to the high-elevation wilderness of the Kaniksu National Forest. High points such as Farnham Peak and Queen Mtn dominate the western horizon, connected by a network of drainage basins including Trout Cr and Ball Cr. The map details the complex topography of the Farnham Ridge and Russell Ridge, providing an exacting look at the forest service access roads and geographic landmarks that define this pocket of Northern Idaho.
