1985 Map of Steamboat Creek

About this map

Coeur D'Alene National Forest dominates this 1985 landscape, defined by the deep canyons and narrow ridges of Idaho's Panhandle. The Coeur D'Alene River winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle, serving as the primary drainage for a dense network of mountain streams. Numerous named water bodies like Big Bob Creek, Eighty Day Creek, and Long Tom Creek illustrate the intricate hydrological patterns of this timber-rich region. High points such as Steamboat Peak and Cougar Peak provide significant vertical relief, with Grizzly Ridge marking the eastern boundary. The absence of major settlements highlights the area's use for forestry and recreation, as evidenced by the Wood Rat Trail. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain before later development or environmental shifts, capturing the watershed's configuration through gulches like Clark Gulch and Drew Gulch.
