About this map

The Roman Nose Lookout stands as a sentinel over the high-altitude terrain of the Kaniksu National Forest in this late-1960s survey. This portion of Boundary County is defined by a dense network of glacial basins and sharp divides, protected in the north by the Myrtle Creek Game Preserve. The landscape is dotted with several alpine water bodies, most notably the Roman Nose Lakes and Bottleneck Lake, which feed into the Pack River and various descending creeks.

Transportation through this high country is limited to a few rugged routes, including a Jeep Trail that traverses the ridges. Several strategic mountain crossings are identified, such as Cooks Pass, Caribou Pass, and Ruby Pass, which provided essential navigation points for foresters and early recreationists. The concentration of named peaks and ridges, including Snow Ridge and Caribou Ridge, illustrates the complex topography that shaped the management of these northern Idaho timberlands.
