2024 Map of Faset Peak

About this map

The Coeur d'Alene Mountains dominate this landscape where Bonner, Kootenai, and Shoshone counties meet. This area, managed within the Kaniksu National Forest and Coeur d'Alene National Forest, is defined by a complex network of ridgelines and drainages. High points like Faset Peak and Griffith Peak overlook numerous watercourses, including Independence Creek and Ermine Creek. A legacy of forest access and recreation is visible through the Independence Creek National Recreation Trl and the Dixie Queen Trl, which navigate the steep terrain between landmarks such as Bishop Saddle and Snowbird Meadows. The map captures a wilderness environment structured by historic survey townships and range lines, where remote features like Bishop Spring and Magee Peak serve as primary navigational anchors in the high country.
