About this map

The Cabinet Mountains dominate this 1999 revision of the Sanders County landscape, where steep ridgelines and deep creek drainages define the wilderness of the Lolo National Forest. The Thompson River carves a significant path through the eastern half of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries such as Marten Creek and Little Rock Cr. This survey, updated with 1995 imagery, documents the complex topography of Deerhorn Mountain and the high elevation terrain of McCully Ridge before the land drops toward the Thompson Falls Plains in the south.

Water sources are a primary focus for those studying this remote area, from the headwaters of Calico Creek to the secluded Todd Spring. The map identifies the specific boundaries of the Ranger District and the intricate network of forest roads and trails that provided access to timber and recreational lands at the close of the twentieth century. Isolated landmarks like Sears Gulch and Jungle Creek provide essential reference points for navigation and local land use history.
