2024 Map of Thompson Pass

About this map

Thompson Pass and Glidden Pass serve as primary crossings along the high divide of the Coeur d'Alene Mountains, marking the boundary between Shoshone and Sanders counties. This alpine terrain is defined by a network of glacial cirque lakes, including Revett Lake, Pear Lake, and the connected waters of Lower Glidden Lake and Upper Glidden Lake. The landscape is managed across three major forest jurisdictions: the Kaniksu, Lolo, and Coeur d'Alene National Forests. Transportation through the area follows established corridors like Prospect Creek Rd and Bear Creek Rd, while the Thompson Pass-Revett Lk Trl provides interior access. Noteworthy peaks and ridges such as Beaver Peak, Andys Knob, and Glidden Ridge punctuate the skyline, with water systems such as Prospect Creek and the Little North Fork South Fork Coeur d'Alene River draining the steep slopes toward the valleys below.
