2024 Map of Spades Mountain

About this map

Coeur d'Alene National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, defined by high ridges and the complex drainage of the Little North Fork Coeur d'Alene River. The area is characterized by a dense network of forest development roads and primitive trails that crisscross significant peaks like Spades Mtn and South Chilco Mtn. Transportation routes such as Hayden Creek Rd and Lakes Divide Rd follow the contours of the Coeur d'Alene Mountains, providing access to remote high points like Burnt Cabin Summit. The presence of Lost Mines Rd near Windy Ridge suggests the historical prospecting and extraction activity that once took place in these northern Idaho uplands. Hikers and recreationalists can trace the South Chilco Mtn National Recreation Trl or explore more isolated paths like Hells Canyon Trl through the deep drainage of Hells Canyon.
