2014 Map of Calx Mountain

About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this topographic study of Lincoln County, defining a landscape of high summits and deeply carved drainages. The map centers on the high elevations of Calx Mtn and Wolf Mtn, where the steep relief dictates the path of early forest infrastructure. A network of service roads, including Wolf Creek Rd and the Natl Forest Develop Road 5801 Rd, follows the natural contours carved by Wolf Cr and Cow Cr. This 2014 survey reveals the hydrological complexity of the region, from the headwaters of Snell Cr beneath Snell Mtn to the southern reaches of Wabuna Cr and McKillop Cr. The arrangement of these features illustrates the ongoing importance of watershed management and forest access in northwestern Montana's backcountry.
