About this map

The intersection of Shoshone, Bonner, and Kootenai counties defines this mountainous area within the Kaniksu and Coeur d'Alene National Forests. Centered on Faset Peak, the landscape is a network of ridges and drainages where Spruce Creek and Gold Creek carve deep valleys through the timber. The presence of Independence and Meadows suggests pockets of human activity or historical settlement sites tucked away from the more prominent peaks like Magee Peak and Griffith Peak.

Transportation through this high country relies on a system of forest roads and historic paths, including the Ermine Ridge Trail and Dixie Trail. Strategic locations such as Bishop Saddle and Bishop Spring provide natural transit points across the divide. The map reveals an environment managed for both resource protection and back-country access, indicated by the Recreation Trail following the path of Independence Creek.
