About this map

S Fork Coeur d'Alene River defines the southern corridor of this Idaho landscape, where the settlement of Osburn sits along the Trail of the Coeur d'Alene's. The map details a labyrinth of gulches and ridges within the Coeur d'Alene National Forest, revealing the complex network of mountain roads and OHV trails such as Scott Gulch Ohv and Blue Sky Ohv that penetrate the interior.

Evidence of the region's mining and pioneering past is visible in the placement of small centers like Delta, Carbon Center, and Bunn. Topographical landmarks including Dago Peak, Dobson Pass, and Kings Pass illustrate the challenging geography that shaped local movement. From Hutchins Gulch in the north to Meyer Gulch in the south, the map documents a terrain defined by narrow drainages like Beaver Creek and Ninemile Cr, which historically dictated the placement of early camps and transport routes.
