About this map

Buckhorn Mtn and Buckhorn Mine sit at the northern edge of this high-country landscape, where the Idaho Montana state line meets the Boundary Co Lincoln Co division. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and ridgelines, including Keno Mountain, Goat Mountain, and Thunder Mtn, which split the drainage between the Kaniksu National Forest and Kootenai National Forest. A high Lookout Tower on Deer Ridge provided a vantage point for forest management during the mid-1960s.

The hydrological network is anchored by Perkins Lake and the smaller Solomon Lake, with water moving through systems like Skin Creek and North Fork Meadow Creek. Transportation through these high elevations relied on a network of unpaved routes, including the Solomon Lake Road, Deer Ridge Road, and several Jeep Trails, reflecting the area's primary use for timber management and mineral exploration.
