1996 Map of Wylie Knob

About this map

Kaniksu National Forest dominates this northern Idaho landscape, defined by a complex network of drainages and high ridgelines in the mid-1990s. The terrain is anchored by several prominent summits, including Wylie Knob and Lightning Peak, which overlook the deeply carved valleys of Grouse Creek and Rapid Lightning Creek. The presence of Gravel Pits in the southern portion of the sheet suggests active land use and resource extraction amidst the protected forest boundaries. This survey records the specific hydrological patterns of the era, such as the Grouse Creek Falls and the convergence of numerous named mountain streams like Bodenstein Creek and Trapper Creek. The map provides a detailed look at the interface between the high Sand Ridge and the lower basin drainages that feed the region's river systems.
