About this map

Prichard and Eagle sit at the center of this mountain landscape, positioned along the winding North Fork Coeur d'Alene River and Prichard Creek. The map documents a terrain defined by deep gulches and steep ridges within the Coeur d'Alene National Forest. This 2017 survey reveals the extensive network of forest development roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 208 and Prichard Creek Rd, that provide access to the high peaks of the Shoshone Range.

A notable geographic pattern is the naming of countless drainages after local history and prospectors, including George Gulch, Ucelly Gulch, and Fancy Gulch to the east. Higher elevations are marked by prominent lookouts and saddles like Prichard Peak, Bobtail Peak, and Avery Creek Saddle. The convergence of Beaver Creek and the river near the southern boundary highlights the importance of these watercourses in shaping the development of this northern Idaho region.
