About this map

Kootenai National Forest lands dominate this mountainous reach of Lincoln County, defined by the high ridges of the Purcell Mountains. The landscape is a network of water and timber management, where prominent peaks like Banfield Mtn and Lost Soul Mtn rise above deep drainages. A series of forest development roads, including Natl Forest Develop Road 615 Rd, provide access to the interior, tracing the paths of Barron Cr and Blue Cr.

Blue Lake and Blue Mtn anchor the southern portion of the map, illustrating the high-elevation water sources that feed into the Kootenai River system. The topography is meticulously detailed, showing the sharp elevation changes at the Giebler/Lost Soul Divide and along Garden Ridge. This modern survey documents the contemporary boundaries and road systems used for recreation and resource management in the Montana backcountry.
