2011 Map of Cabinet

About this map

The Clark Fork river dominates this landscape on the Idaho-Montana border, cutting through the dramatic Cabinet Gorge. Near the small settlement of Cabinet, the infrastructure of the river's utility and conservation is evident through the Cabinet Dam Viewpoint and the twin operations of the Clark Fork Fish Hatchery and Cabinet Gorge Hatchery. The terrain transitions sharply from the river valley to high-elevation landmarks such as Beaver Peak and the sprawling Elk Ridge. This 2011 survey documents a network of Forest Service roads including NFD 2295 Rd and NFD 208 Rd that provide access to remote drainages like West Fork Elk Creek and Silta Draw. To the north, the isolated waters of Schlicht Lake sit tucked away from the main river corridor, while the drainage of Blue Creek and its East Fork carve through the northeastern timberlands.
