2020 Map of Trestle Peak

About this map

The Cabinet Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Kaniksu National Forest, where steep drainages and mountain peaks define the topography. In the southwest corner of the sheet, researchers can identify the Auxor Basin and the associated Auxor Mine Ohr, indicating the historic mining activity that once drew prospectors to these heights. The area is intersected by several forest roads, including Trestle Creek Rd and Lightning Creek Rd, which follow the primary watercourses through the timbered terrain. Notable summits like Trestle Peak, Lunch Peak, and Moose Mtn provide orientation points, while alpine waters like Moose Lake and Blacktail Lake occupy the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The map also delineates the Beetop-Roundtop trail system, reflecting the balance between resource extraction and the recreational use of this portion of Bonner County.
