2017 Map of Steamboat Creek

About this map

The North Fork Coeur d'Alene River winds through the southern reaches of the Coeur d'Alene National Forest, defining the drainage patterns of this mountain landscape. In this 2017 study, the intricate network of gulches and draws—including Weyer Gulch, Drew Gulch, and Simmons Draw—illustrates a terrain deeply carved by water. Prominent landmarks like Steamboat Rock and Steamboat Peak overlook a complex of forestry roads and off-highway vehicle tracks, such as Felder OHV and Steamboat OHV, which trace the ridges and valley floors. The presence of Old River Rd along the main waterway suggests long-established access routes through the panhandle. From the heights of Grizzly Ridge to the depths of Black Canyon, the map provides a contemporary record of how resource management and recreation have shaped this portion of Shoshone County.
