2011 Map of Skitwish Peak

About this map

Little North Fork Coeur d'Alene River winds through the northern reaches of this Idaho landscape, where the naming of Skitwish Peak and Monument Mountain defines a high-elevation network of ridges and drainages. The topography is characterized by a series of prominent passes, including Skookum Saddle, John Saddle, and Marie Saddle, which historically facilitated movement between the numerous creek drainages such as McCauley Creek and Marie Creek. Access to these remote elevations is marked by the presence of Monument L O Rd and Lost Mines Rd, names that reflect the region's history of fire observation and resource extraction. At the northern edge, Honeysuckle Campground serves as a lone point of recreational development along the river, while the surrounding terrain remains dominated by named summits like Copper Mountain and John Peak.
