1996 Map of Steamboat Creek

About this map

Coeur D'Alene National Forest lands dominate this northern Idaho survey, where the Coeur D'Alene River carves a sharp path through the southern reaches of the quadrangle. The landscape is defined by a dense network of gulches and creeks, including Nelson Gulch and Cougar Gulch, which feed into the primary river system. This area, largely managed by the U.S. Forest Service, highlights the transition from the high summits of Steamboat Peak and Cougar Peak down to the established Steamboat Camp. The map provides a clear record of the access roads and 4WD tracks that penetrated these ridges during the late twentieth century, showing the intersection of waterway-based geography and mountain forestry. Notable landmarks like Steamboat Rock and Black Canyon Saddle serve as key navigational points within this complex drainage basin of Steamboat Creek.
