2017 Map of Clark Mountain

About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this section of the Purcell Mountains in northwest Montana, where the terrain is defined by the high elevations of Clark Mtn and Grizzly Mountain. This landscape is primarily shaped by its drainage systems, with the Yaak River flowing through the central portion of the quadrangle. The map reveals a high-altitude wilderness accessible by seasonal routes like Long Meadow Rd and Yaak River Rd, which follow the river valley. The region is interlaced with numerous smaller waterways, including Whitetail Cr and Pheasant Cr, that feed into the larger river system. Winter recreation and utility are evidenced by specialized trails such as the Pete Creek Snowmobile (Snow) route and the Spread Creek Snowmobile path. This modern survey provides an exact record of topographic peaks and the remote infrastructure supporting the national forest's management.
