About this map

Steamboat Peak and Cougar Peak Lookout anchor this rugged drainage in Shoshone County, where a network of forest service and development roads provides access to the steep drainages of the Idaho panhandle. The topography is defined by the North Fork Coeur d'Alene River flowing across the southern section, joined by numerous tributaries including Steamboat Creek and Scott Creek.

The landscape is marked by historical resource management and utility, with Steamboat Camp situated in the northern reaches and named landmarks like Steamboat Rock and Black Canyon punctuating the narrow valleys. Deep gulches such as Weyer Gulch, Cougar Gulch, and Drew Gulch carve into the ridges, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Coeur d'Alene basin. This area represents a primary interface between river-bottom corridors like Old River Rd and the high-elevation lookouts used for regional forest oversight.
