2020 Map of Trout Creek

About this map

Noxon Reservoir dominates the landscape of Sanders County in this modern survey, where the Vermillion River feeds into the impounded waters of the Clark Fork. The settlement of Trout Creek serves as a local hub, situated where the reservoir narrows and is flanked by the steep rising slopes of the Cabinet Mountains to the north. This area within the Kaniksu National Forest is defined by a network of drainage gulches and ridges, including Belgian Gulch and Copper Ridge. To the southeast, the small community of Whitepine is anchored by the Whitepine Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted local history of this valley. The map details a transition from river-bottom flats like Honey Flat to significant timbered elevations, traced by forest roads such as Blue Slide Rd and Marten Creek Rd.
