2020 Map of Murray

About this map

Murray is situated in a high-elevation drainage network where Prichard Cr and Gold Run converge, serving as a focal point for the surrounding canyon country. The landscape is defined by its deep gulches and steep ridgelines, which have long supported local resource extraction and settlement. To the north, the terrain rises toward Bobtail Ridge and Little Baldy, while the eastern boundary follows the State Line between Idaho and Montana. The map illustrates a dense concentration of named drainages like Pennsylvania Gulch, Buckskin Gulch, and Oregon Gulch, suggesting a history of prospecting and timber activity. High peaks such as Murray Peak and Maple Peak overlook the narrow valleys, where Alder Gulch Rd provides access to the interior of the Coeur d'Alene National Forest. This modern survey details the intricate relationship between the mountainous topography and the small-scale roads that follow the winding paths of the W Fork of Eagle Creek and its tributaries.
