2013 Map of Clifty Mountain

About this map

Clifty Mtn and the surrounding high country of the Selkirk Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape where the Kanisku National Forest meets the Kootenai National Forest. The map documents a complex drainage system where waters flow from the slopes of Iron Mtn and Buck Mtn into numerous named tributaries including Pulp Cr, Pinochle Cr, and Rummy Cr. A notable geographic transition occurs along the southern boundary where the terrain shifts into Bonner Co near N Callahan Cr. This survey details the remote infrastructure of the early 21st century, showing the winding paths of Black Mtn Rd and Boulder Creek Rd as they navigate the ridges and basins. These routes provide access to isolated landmarks such as Divide Lake and the prominent heights of Bald Eagle Mtn and Star Mtn along the eastern edge of the quadrangle.
