2011 Map of Pond Peak

About this map

The North Fork Coeur d'Alene River winds through the heart of this landscape in the Coeur d'Alene Mountains, anchoring a network of remote drainages and high ridges. High-elevation vantage points like Pond Peak and Little Guard Peak define the horizon, with the Little Guard Peak Lookout serving as a primary point of observation for the surrounding forest. The map reveals a land utilized for seasonal recreation and timber management, evidenced by the presence of Big Hank Campground and Devils Elbow Campground along the river's edge. Access to the high country is maintained via specialized routes such as the Little Guard Peak Rd and the Nat Forest Develop Road 1515 Trl. Water features are abundant, from the Yellow Dog Creek in the south to the headwaters of Sentinel Creek and Lion Creek further north.
