About this map

Baldy Mtn anchors this terrain within the Lolo National Forest of Sanders County, Montana. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by high elevation water bodies and the drainage systems of Hinchwood Cr and Clark Cr. At lower elevations, the settlement at Locust Hill sits near Banana Lake, reflecting the small-scale mountain communities common to this region. The drainage of Hot Springs Cr on the eastern edge indicates the proximity to geothermal features just outside the survey area.

Transportation is defined by a network of forest and access roads, including Cedar Creek Rd and the high-elevation Lone Man Divide Rd. Significant landmarks like Rainbow Lake Pass and the nearby Rainbow Lake provide essential reference points for navigating the steep topography of the Cabinet Mountains foothills. This survey details the complex system of forest service routes, such as the Clark Hinchwood 1027, that support the timber and recreation economy of the forest.
