About this map

The Idaho-Montana border bisects this mountainous landscape where the Kaniksu National Forest and Kootenai National Forest meet. The high ground is dominated by prominent summits such as Goat Mountain and Solomon Mountain, while the Buckhorn Ridge defines the northern skyline. This 1996 update reveals a terrain shaped by resource extraction and observation, most notably at the Buckhorn Mine near the northern boundary and the Deer Ridge Lookout positioned for forest surveillance.

Water features are concentrated in the south and west, where Solomon Lake and the larger Perkins Lake sit beneath the high ridges. Transportation is limited to a handful of forest routes like the Three Waters Bonners Ferry road and a section of Old Highway 2 in the southwest corner. The map also delineates the Boundary County and Lincoln County line, marking a point of intersection for two states and two counties amidst the drainage of Deer Creek and Hellroaring Creek.
