2017 Map of Snowshoe Peak

About this map

The Cabinet Mountains form a high-altitude spine through this portion of the Kootenai National Forest and Kaniksu National Forest. This 2017 survey details the complex hydrography of the range, where permanent ice features like the Blackwell Glacier feed alpine water bodies including Snowshoe Lake, Leigh Lake, and Big Cherry Lake. The high peaks, such as Snowshoe Peak and Alaska Peak, define a divide that separates the drainage basins of the N Fork Bull River and the Middle Fork Bull River. The map also captures the administrative boundary between Lincoln and Sanders counties as it traverses peaks like Dad Peak and Lentz Peak. This modern topographic study serves as a precise guide to the high-country terrain of the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness, marking the distinct ridges of Vimy Ridge and Flavel Ridge.
