About this map

White Pine and Belknap anchor this section of Sanders County, where the Clark Fork river valley is dominated by the Noxon Reservoir. The map illustrates a landscape defined by industrial and recreational access, with the Talc mining site situated near the reservoir's edge at Finley Flats. Local transportation and utility are highlighted by the presence of both the Littlebear Airport and Pinehurst Ranch Airport, serving this corner of the Lolo National Forest.

Elevation extremes shape the area's character, from the depths of Blue Slide Gulch to the heights of Cougar Peak and Thompson Point. Significant watercourses such as Big Beaver Creek and Mosquito Cr drain the high country of the Kaniksu National Forest and Slevers Ridge. The network of forest roads and trails, including the Cougar TRL and Beaver Creek Rd, provides a clear view of how these timberlands and river drainages are managed and accessed.
