2011 Map of Smith Mountain

About this map

Smith Mountain and Roberts Mountain dominate this landscape in the Idaho Panhandle National Forest, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of high-elevation drainages. The Smith Patrol Lookout stands as a significant landmark overlooking the confluence of several prominent waterways, including North Callahan Creek and Caribou Creek. This 2011 survey reveals a remote backcountry area accessed primarily by forestry routes like the Nat For Dev Rd 427 and the S Fk Callahan Cr Rd. Toward the southern reaches of the quadrangle, Smith Lake and Lake Estelle provide quiet focal points at the base of Long Mountain. The hydrological detail is particularly high, tracing small mountain tributaries such as Glad Creek and Frezkat Creek as they feed into the larger Callahan Creek system. This map is an essential reference for understanding the geography of Bonner County's most isolated peaks and forest management corridors.
