About this map

The Purcell Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Kootenai National Forest of northwestern Montana. This 2014 survey captures a wilderness area defined by significant peaks and drainage systems, including Purcell Summit and Boulder Mtn. The watershed is divided into numerous named drainages such as Porcupine Cr, Good Cr, and the various forks of Big Cr and Boulder Cr.

A network of forestry roads, including Natl Forest Develop Road 470 Rd, provides access into these steep basins. Notable landmarks for navigators and local historians include the secluded Boulder Lakes and the descriptive Knife Gulch. The map also identifies the unique Little N Fork Fork Falls, illustrating the dramatic vertical drops characteristic of this terrain. This data is essential for understanding forest management and geographic nomenclature in Lincoln County.
