1996 Map of Prater Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1999

About this map

The Priest River Experimental Forest, established in the early 20th century as one of the nation's first forestry research stations, dominates this terrain in northern Idaho. The map documents the complex forest management infrastructure of the era, including the Experimental Forest Headquarters and the Sewage Disposal Pond near Benton Creek. The landscape is defined by the sharp descent from peaks like Gisborne Mountain and Prater Mountain down to the winding course of the Priest River. Along the river’s edge, markers of local navigation and land use appear, such as McAbee Falls and several scattered Gravel Pit sites. In the northwestern corner, the southern tip of Priest Lake is visible, while the interior of the Kaniksu National Forest is threaded by numerous drainage systems like Fox Creek and Blue Creek, which feeds into the secluded Blue Lake.
