2014 Map of Miller Lake

About this map

Kootenai National Forest and Kaniksu National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape along the border of Lincoln and Sanders counties. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent summits including Owl Peak, Jumbo Peak, and Moose Peak, which overlook a network of drainage basins. High mountain waters like Miller Lake and Sylvan Lake sit tucked away in the upper reaches of the topography, feeding streams such as Bayhorse Cr and Blacktail Cr. To the south, the Vermilion River flows through a valley carved by several named gulches, including Thirteen and Sparrow Gulch. Access into these mountain ranges is provided by the Natl Forest Develop Road 6754 Rd and passages like Willow Creek Pass and Himes Pass, illustrating the primary infrastructure used for forest management and remote exploration in the twenty-first century.
