About this map

The Shoshone Range dominates this corner of the Idaho Panhandle, where the high ridges of the Bitterroot Mountains form the Idaho-Montana state line. This 1990s-era map details the intersection of the Coeur d'Alene National Forest and the Kaniksu National Forest, a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and the winding path of the North Fork Coeur d'Alene River.

Key landmarks for hikers and researchers include the National Recreation Trail and the Blacktail Creek Trail, which navigate through prominent peaks like East Cathedral Peak and Shoshone Peak. The area's history of backcountry habitation is noted at Jordan Camp, while names like Calamity Creek and Lost Cabin Gulch suggest the difficulties faced by early prospectors and settlers in this timber-rich interior.
