1999 Map of Belknap

About this map

Clark Fork cuts a wide path through this portion of Sanders County, defining the geography around Noxon Reservoir. The settlement of Belknap and the historical location of White Pine Station (Site) sit along the river corridor, which serves as the primary artery for transportation and habitation in an area otherwise dominated by the high elevations of Sievers Ridge and Vermilion Ridge. The map details a landscape managed by three federal agencies, showing the complex boundaries where Lolo National Forest meets the Kootenai National Forest. Industrial and recreational markers are scattered throughout, from the Lucky Luke Mine and various prospects tucked in the gulches to the Flatiron Ridge Fishing Access and a riverside Golf Course. Notable landmarks like the Cougar Peak Lookout provide a sense of the vertical scale of the surrounding peaks.
