About this map

Green Monarch Mine sits along the northern edge of this high-elevation terrain in Bonner County, marking a site of industrial effort among the peaks of the Idaho panhandle. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent ridges and drainage basins, where water flows from high points like Packsaddle Mountain and Larch Mountain into the North Fork Coeur d'Alene River and Granite Creek. The network of national forest development roads, including Nat For Dev Rd 306 and Johnson Creek Rd, provides the primary access through this complex topography.

Water sources such as Freezeout Spring and the Kilroy Lakes are vital landmarks for those navigating the backcountry. The naming of features like Peep a Day Ridge, Fleming Point, and Johnson Saddle suggests a history of local exploration and land use, while the prominence of Johnson Peak and Green Monarch Mountain provides a framework for understanding the vertical scale of this interior mountain environment.
