About this map

Kaniksu National Forest and Coeur d'Alene National Forest meet in this mountain-dominated landscape, where the administrative boundaries of Bonner, Kootenai, and Shoshone counties intersect. The 1996 survey records a dense network of hydrologic features, including the upper reaches of Independence Creek and Gold Creek, which carve through the high terrain defined by Faset Peak and Spruce Mountain.

Remote infrastructure is characterized by forest management and backcountry access, such as the District Ranger Road and Ermine Ridge Trail. A dedicated Helipad near North Snow Peak underscores the operational focus of the Forest Service in this era. For those interested in the topography of the Idaho panhandle, the map identifies specific high points like Magee Peak and Hamilton Mountain, alongside significant water sources such as Bishop Spring and Elkhorn Spring.
