About this map

Silverhorn Ski Area and the high summits of the St. Joe Mountains define this landscape on the southern edge of the Silver Valley. The terrain is a complex network of steep drainages, including McLaren Gulch and Dry Gulch, which feed into the central corridor of Pine Cr. This area represents the divide between two major public lands, with the northern sections falling under the Coeur D'Alene National Forest and the southern portions managed as the St. Joe National Forest.

Evidence of the region's resource-based economy and recreational transition is visible through the infrastructure around Wardner Peak and Kellogg Peak. Forest access is provided by primitive routes such as Highland Creek Rd and Trusty Rd, while the Lemonade Peak Lookout stands as a sentinel over the southern peaks. The map detail highlights the rugged interior of Shoshone County, where naming conventions often follow the miners and prospectors who worked the surrounding gulches.
