About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this mountain landscape in Lincoln County, defined by the high peaks of the Purcell Mountains. The terrain is anchored by Banfield Mtn and Lost Soul Mtn, where a complex network of forest service roads and trails provides access to the high country. These include the Giebier/lost Soul Divide Trl and Banfield Ridge Trl, which follow the primary ridgelines.

Water features are abundant throughout the drainages, notably Blue Lake and the headwaters of South Fork Big Creek and Barron Creek. The map documents a contemporary wilderness infrastructure, showing the intersection of recreation and resource management through named routes like the Snowmobile Spur Trl and Blue Mountain Rd. This layout illustrates how the remote northwest corner of Montana is navigated via ridgeline trails and valley-floor roads such as Natl Forest Develop Road 615 Rd.
