About this map

Purcell Mountains terrain dominates this 2020 survey of the borderlands between Montana and Idaho. The map traces the high-elevation divide where the Kaniksu National Forest meets the Kootenai National Forest, a landscape defined by significant peaks such as Canuck Peak and Ruby Mtn. This area is a critical corridor for long-distance recreation, featuring a segment of the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail as it winds past Canuck Pass and north toward the international boundary.

Water systems like Copper Cr and American Cr drain these steep slopes, while small alpine basins hold Spruce Lake and Hidden Lake. The infrastructure shown is primarily geared toward forest management and seasonal access, including the Spread Creek Snowmobile route and various development roads like Deer Creek Rd and Copper Ridge Rd. The map provides a clear record of the modern trail and forest road network in this remote corner of Lincoln and Boundary counties.
