About this map

Berlin Flats sits near the heart of this mid-1990s survey, marking a small pocket of settlement along the steep canyon floors of the Shoshone Range. This high-altitude landscape is defined by the convergence of the Coeur d'Alene National Forest and the Kaniksu National Forest, where the Idaho-Montana state line follows the divide at Porcupine Pass. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of drainage systems, including Monday Gulch and Sunday Gulch, which feed into the primary waterways that have long dictated movement through these mountains.

Local landmarks such as Taylor Peak and Huliman Peak provide significant orientation points for those studying the region's geography. Evidence of seasonal habitation or back-country staging is visible at locations like Pine Flat and Hawksaye Camp. The survey also highlights the administrative presence of the Wallace Ranger District, emphasizing the area's ongoing management for timber and forest resources during the late 20th century.
