About this map

Kaniksu National Forest defines the high-altitude landscape of this Idaho interior, where the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail winds through the Selkirk Mountains. The terrain is characterized by a series of glacial cirques and alpine basins, home to numerous isolated water bodies such as Big Fisher Lake, Long Mountain Lake, and the remote Ball Lakes. These lakes serve as headwaters for a network of drainages including Trout Cr and Ball Cr.

Strategic vantage points dominate the ridges, most notably at Russell Peak Lookout, which overlooks Russell Mtn and the surrounding drainages. The map reveals the intricate topographic relief between Pyramid Peak and Fisher Peak, connected by a limited network of forest access routes like Trout Creek Rd. This 2020 survey documents the modern state of these protected lands, capturing the intersection of recreational trails and traditional backcountry management within Boundary County.
