1996 Map of Rochat Peak

About this map

The St Joe Mountains dominate this high-country landscape, where the administrative lines of the Coeur d'Alene Indian Reservation meet the expansive timberlands of the Coeur d'Alene National Forest and the St Joe National Forest. The map documents the Old Indian Reservation Boundary as it traverses the ridges, providing a clear record of historical land tenure and tribal borders in northern Idaho. Watercourses like Latour Creek and Blackrock Gulch drain the steep terrain, carved by peaks such as Rochat Peak and Kootenai Peak. This survey offers researchers a precise view of the interface between wilderness management and sovereign tribal lands in the late 1990s, capturing the topography around the Kootenai Co Benewah Co line and remote landmarks like Crystal Lake.
