2013 Map of Skitwish Peak

About this map

Coeur D'Alene National Forest dominates this Idaho landscape, characterized by a series of high ridges and deep river drainages within Kootenai County. The topography is defined by the Little North Fork Coeur d'Alene River which winds through the northern and eastern portions of the quadrangle. Several significant summits, including Skitwish Peak and Monument Mtn, provide the high points for a network of forest service roads and primitive trails. Access into this back-country is primarily through routes like Little N Fork Rd and Monument LO Rd. The area supports seasonal recreation and potential historical exploration, evidenced by Honeysuckle Campground and the presence of Lost Mines Rd near Deception Cr. Various saddles like Marie Saddle and Skookum Saddle mark the passes between the steep drainages of Canyon Cr and Fisher Cr.
