About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this section of Lincoln County, characterized by a complex drainage system and prominent peaks. The terrain is defined by high points including Wolf Mtn, Calx Mtn, and Snell Mtn, which overlook a network of watercourses such as Wolf Cr and Cow Creek. These mountain ranges and creek beds illustrate the natural geography of the Purcell Mountains area before modern development reached these higher elevations.

Transportation through this forested interior relies on a mix of established forestry routes and footpaths. The Natl Forest Develop Road 6823 Rd provides vehicular access through the northern sections, while the Divide Trail 6 (Satire) offers a high-altitude route connecting Satire Mtn with the surrounding ridges. Smaller drainages like Chief Cr and McKillop Cr carve through the southern landscape near Rogers Mtn, indicating the hydrological patterns that have shaped this mountain environment.
