1990 Map of Lamb Peak

About this map

Coeur D'Alene National Forest defines the rugged character of this interior Idaho landscape, where the Kootenai and Shoshone county line follows high ridgelines between drainage basins. The area serves as a significant hub for forest management and back-country access, centered around the Magee Historic Site and the nearby Magee Landing Strip. Transportation through these high valleys relies on a network of historical paths such as the Magee-Bear Trail (Pack) and the Cascade-Magee Road, which connect isolated outposts like the Erickson Ranch. High points including Lamb Peak, Hamilton Mountain, and Leiberg Peak dominate the skyline, while numerous creeks like Big Creek and Tepee Creek carve deep into the terrain. Signs of early 20th-century exploration and resource extraction are evident in scattered landmarks such as the Prospect Adit and Gravel Pit.
