About this map

The Mullan Tree Historic Site stands as a significant landmark in the northern reaches of this Idaho landscape, marking the historic crossing at Fourth of July Summit. This area, within the Coeur d'Alene National Forest, is defined by its complex topography and water systems, where the South Fork Coeur d'Alene River winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map reveals the intricate shoreline of Killarney Lake, featuring named points like Popcorn Island and providing recreational access via a dedicated Boat Ramp.

A network of ridges and drainages, including Hogback Ridge, Beauty Saddle, and Elk Mountain, dictates the local movement of water through many creeks such as Armstrong Creek and Farnham Creek. Historical boundaries are also evident, with the Old Indian Reservation Boundary cutting across the forested slopes. Along the river, industrial and transportation markers like the Union and Pacific corridors, a Quarry, and various river mile markers such as Mile 150 illustrate the valley's role as a vital corridor through the Panhandle mountains.
