About this map

Coeur d'Alene National Forest defines the character of this high-elevation landscape along the border of Kootenai and Shoshone counties. This terrain is characterized by a series of prominent summits including Lamb Peak, Leiberg Peak, and McDonald Peak, which anchor a complex network of ridges such as Stewart Creek Ridge and Cascade Spur. The area is carved by a dense system of waterways, where the headwaters of Trail Cr, Tepee Cr, and Little Elk Cr flow through deep gulches like Coon Gulch.

Human presence is sparse and focused on forest management and transit, evidenced by the Magee Airport and the isolated Erickson Ranch. An intricate system of Forest Service roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 436 and Nat For Dev Rd 914, provides access across high passes including Leiberg Saddle, Riley Saddle, and Tepee Summit. Large natural openings like Big Meadows provide rare level ground within the heavily timbered mountain environment.
