About this map

Kaniksu National Forest and Coeur d'Alene National Forest meet in this high-altitude landscape where the borders of Bonner, Shoshone, and Kootenai counties converge. The terrain is defined by prominent landmarks such as Faset Peak, Griffith Peak, and Spruce Mtn, connected by a network of ridges including Ermine Ridge and Spruce Divide Rd. The map reveals a complex system of forestry and access roads like Nat For Dev Rd 332 and Pend Oreille Divide Rd, essential for navigating these remote summits.

Hydrological features are abundant, with numerous drainages like Independence Cr, Spruce Cr, and Snowbird Cr carving through the Coeur d'Alene Mountains. The presence of Bishop Spring and Snowbird Meadows provides a contrast to the steep rocky peaks. This 2020 survey records the modern state of these protected lands, showing the continued significance of names like Dixie Queen and Bishop Saddle in the region's geography.
