About this map

Kaniksu National Forest dominates this mid-century topographic study, where the steep ridgelines of Quartz Mtn and Jasper Mtn define a terrain of dense drainages and scattered resource extraction. The area’s administrative and logistical center is found at the Falls Ranger Station, situated near the confluence of the Lower West Branch and the Priest River. A network of pack trails and jeep trails crisscrosses the landscape, linking remote landmarks like Cottonwood Point and the open ground of Daggett Meadow.

Evidence of local industry is visible through several marked sites, including a Gravel Pit, Borrow Pit, and scattered Mine and Prospect locations. The southern portion of the sheet reveals the river’s winding course past the Peninsula and the landmark Torrelle Falls, while the small settlement of Four Corners provides a rare point of named human habitation within the heavy timber of the Idaho panhandle during the late 1960s.
