About this map

The Coeur D'alene River winds through this mountainous borderland where the Shoshone Range meets the state line between Idaho and Montana. Surveyed in the mid-1960s, the terrain is defined by its complex drainage network and high summits, including Shoshone Peak and the striking Cathedral Rocks. The landscape is largely comprised of the Kaniksu National Forest and Coeur D'alene National Forest, emphasizing the area's history of federal land management and wilderness preservation.

Evidence of early access to these remote heights is visible via a labeled Pack Trail and numerous creek systems such as Jordan Creek and Calamity Creek. Notable landmarks like Spion Kop Rock and East Cathedral Peak provide fixed points for navigating the high ridges. These features reflect the region's character as a primary watershed and a site for specialized forest service infrastructure, indicated by various heliport sites.
