1989 Map of Mount Pend Oreille

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Mount Pend Oreille dominates this high-elevation landscape in the northern panhandle, where the boundary between Kaniksu National Forest and Kootenai National Forest meets at the Idaho-Montana border. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages, including the branching headwaters of Lightning Creek and the North Callahan Creek system. Small alpine features like Gem Lake and Lake Darling are tucked beneath the ridges, accessible primarily by 4WD tracks that thread through the steep topography. Evidence of resource extraction appears in the eastern reaches near the Open Pit Mine and the area labeled Prospect, signaling the area's mineral interest. The isolated Smith Cabin stands as a rare sign of human habitation amidst the peaks of Calder Mountain and Strawberry Mountain, illustrating the remote character of this wilderness area at the end of the 1980s.
