2011 Map of Benning Mountain

About this map

Benning Mountain and the surrounding high country of the Idaho-Montana border dominate this 2011 survey, where steep peaks and deep drainage basins define the geography. The landscape is marked by a network of named summits including Lafoe Mountain, Burnt Peak, and Lightning Mountain. The presence of the Nat For Dev Rd 1084 indicates the management and accessibility of these timbered slopes for forest development. High-elevation water sources such as Moose Lake feed into a complex system of drainages, notably West Fork Keeler Creek and East Fork Creek, which flow through the sharp relief of the Cabinet Mountains. This map captures the region's wilderness character, showcasing the numerous tributary creeks like Thunder Creek and Lightning Creek that carve through the remote terrain.
