2014 Map of Cable Mountain

About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this section of northwestern Montana, where a complex network of forest roads and mountain drainages defines the backcountry. The landscape is punctuated by prominent peaks including Big Hoodoo Mtn, McDonald Mtn, and Cable Mtn, which serve as anchors for the surrounding watershed. Numerous creeks, such as Snowshoe Cr, Crazyman Cr, and Little Cherry Cr, carve through the terrain, feeding into larger systems like Libby Cr. The presence of established routes like Cherry Creek Rd and Libby Creek Rd highlights the long-standing importance of this area for timber access and resource management. For researchers, the map provides a clear view of the drainage patterns and the specific naming conventions used for the ridges and valleys that have guided local navigation for decades.
