2014 Map of Penrose Peak

About this map

Lolo National Forest dominates this mountain landscape along the border of Sanders and Mineral Counties. The terrain is defined by the high elevations of the Coeur d'Alene Mountains, specifically the C C Divide which separates the local watersheds. Penrose Peak and Cherry Peak serve as prominent anchors in the northern half of the survey, with Acorn Lake providing a rare water basin among the high ridges. The map captures a largely roadless interior, where drainage systems like Cherry Cr, Breen Cr, and Blackburn Cr carve out deep valleys. Small infrastructure such as Twelve Mile Rd and the crossing at Greenwood Hill provide limited access through the dense forest, reflecting the land's primary use for timber and conservation rather than settlement. Topographic details illustrate the complex network of ridges, including Flat Rock Ridge and the descent into Buzzard Gulch.
