About this map

The Canada United States border defines the northern edge of this remote mountain terrain within the Kootenai National Forest. The landscape is dominated by high summits including Dusty Peak and the namesake Bonnet Top, with numerous drainage systems such as Boyd Creek and Benefield Creek feeding into the Yaak River.

Lower elevation points of interest are concentrated along the river corridor, where the Yaak Valley Ch and the Upper Ford Guard Station represent the sparse human footprint in this wilderness area. The presence of a network of designated Pack Trails and a localized Gravel Pit indicates the practical management of the forest and its resources during the early 1960s. To the south, notable landmarks like Bunker Hill and Hoskins Lake sit among a complex of ridges including Waper Ridge.
