1996 Map of Polaris Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1999

About this map

Polaris Peak rises as the central topographic feature of this high-elevation terrain on the border of the Coeur d'Alene National Forest and St Joe National Forest. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous drainages, including the West Fork Rosebud Gulch and the Middle Fork Big Creek, which cut through a region dominated by timber and extraction. Human activity is evidenced by numerous prospects, adits, and gravel pits scattered throughout the gulches, reflecting the mining history of Shoshone County. For the recreationist and local researcher, the map details established routes such as the Bronson Meadows Trail and the Recreation Trail that navigate the ridges between summits like Silver Hill and Elsie Peak. A solitary Cemetery near the northern boundary and the quiet waters of Elsie Lake provide specific points of interest in this heavily forested mountain interior.
