About this map

The Kootenai River meanders through the northern reaches of this Idaho borderland, defining the transition from the low-lying Purcell Trench to the steep elevations of the Kaniksu National Forest. This modern 2020 landscape illustrates a high-altitude wilderness managed for both recreation and utility, where the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail traverses the ridges above Parker Creek and Long Canyon Creek.

Evidence of the region's limited transportation network is found along the river valley, where W Side Rd and Dike Rd skirt the banks near Eckhart International Airport. In the rugged interior, Smith Ridge and peaks like Parker Peak and Eneas Peak dominate the topography. The namesake Smith Falls sits tucked into the drainage of Smith Creek, representing one of the many hydrological features that feed the Kootenai from the high mountain crests.
