2017 Map of Osburn

About this map

Osburn serves as the anchor for this mountain landscape, located at the southwestern edge of a region defined by complex gulches and steep ridgelines within the Coeur d'Alene National Forest. The map documents a network of high-elevation passes and mining-era settlements, including Delta, Thiard, and Ferguson. Transport across the difficult terrain is facilitated by Beaver Creek and the high Dobson Pass, while smaller outposts like Carbon Center and Bunn are situated near drainage points for Nine Mile Creek and Canyon Creek. The topography is densely named, with numerous local landmarks such as Dago Peak, Capital Hill, and the descriptive No Name Gulch. This 2017 survey reflects modern land management, showing an extensive network of off-highway vehicle routes like the Scott Gulch OHV and Deer Kid OHV winding through the timber and former mining claims.
