About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this section of the Cabinet Mountains, where the drainage systems of Big Cherry Creek and Libby Creek define the vertical landscape. The terrain is marked by high summits including Cable Mtn, Big Hoodoo Mtn, and McKay Mountain, which provide the headwaters for numerous tributaries. Access through this timbered region is facilitated by routes such as Cherry Creek Rd and Nat For Dev Rd 6209.

Hydrographic patterns reveal a network of named streams like Poorman Creek, Ramsey Creek, and Snowshoe Cr that cut through the steep topography. These waterways have long been central to the area's geography, with the southern portion of the map showing the convergence of smaller flows such as Midas Cr and Ramsey Cr. The lack of established townsites emphasizes the area's status as a managed forest and wilderness resource.
