About this map

Twin Crags and Mt Wiessner dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Kootenai, Shoshone, and Benewah counties. This 2017 survey details the complex drainages of the Saint Joe Divide, where various branches of Pine Cr and Falls Cr originate. The map illustrates a network of National Forest roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 453 and W Fork Pine Creek Rd, which provide access to high points like Frost Peak and Latour Peak.

Geographical interest centers on the distinct alpine features like Mirror Lake, tucked beneath the crags, and the numerous named gulches including Skeel Gulch and Reeds Gulch. The intersection of township and range lines across this mountainous terrain highlights the precision of modern surveying in the Idaho Panhandle, tracing the steep drops from summits like Latour Baldy to the creek beds below.
