About this map

Coeur d'Alene National Forest and Kaniksu National Forest converge in this high-elevation Idaho landscape, where the borders of Bonner, Shoshone, and Kootenai counties meet. The terrain is defined by prominent summits such as Faset Peak, Magee Peak, and North Snow Peak, linked by significant topographical features like Ermine Ridge and the Spruce Divide Rd.

Remote accessibility is provided through a network of Forest Service routes and recreational paths, most notably the Independence Creek NRT and the Pend Oreille Divide Rd. This area serves as a critical watershed, with numerous drainages like Independence Cr and Spruce Cr carving through the Coeur d'Alene Mountains. The presence of the Dixie Queen landmark and the open Snowbird Meadows highlights the intersection of resource management and wilderness at the time of this 2017 survey.
