1996 Map of Roman Nose

About this map

Kaniksu National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Boundary County, where the 1996 revision documents a wilderness characterized by glacial cirques and steep ridges. The terrain is anchored by Roman Nose and Bottleneck Peak, overlooking a series of alpine water bodies including Roman Nose Lakes and Bottleneck Lake. The survey details a complex network of forest trails and primitive roads crossing high divides like Caribou Pass and Cooks Pass, illustrating the management of the State Game Preserve and the Selkirk Crest Management Area. These features, alongside the drainage of the Pack River and Myrtle Creek, highlight a region dedicated to conservation and remote recreation during the late twentieth century. Surveyors also noted the east-west line of the Thirteenth Standard Parallel North, a key coordinate in the mapping of northern Idaho.
