1996 Map of Twentymile Creek

About this map

Paradise Valley marks the northern extent of this landscape, where the terrain rises sharply into the protected reaches of the Kaniksu National Forest. This 1996 revision, based on surveys dating back to the 1960s, documents a high-altitude wilderness defined by the Boundary and Bonner County line. The hydrology is centered on Twentymile Creek and its tributaries, including Wishbone Creek and Contrary Creek, which carve deep drainages between prominent summits like Twentymile Peak and Bald Eagle Mountain. Evidence of modern infrastructure is sparse but notable, including a water transmission line, a pipeline, and an Electronic Site near Black Mountain. For those studying the geography of Northern Idaho, the map details numerous high passes such as Twentymile Pass, Beaver Dam Pass, and Kelly Pass, alongside local landmarks like Beaver Lake and a Gravel Pit near the valley floor.
