1999 Map of Coney Peak

About this map

The Cabinet Mountains define the high country of Sanders County in the late 1990s, where the western boundary of the Flathead Indian Reservation meets the protected lands of the Lolo National Forest. This montane landscape is shaped by the headwaters of the Little Thompson River and its various tributaries, including Nancy Creek and Alder Creek. A high-altitude drainage pattern is evident at Corona Lake, situated near the Corona Divide. Human infrastructure in this wilderness is limited to specialized water management and recreation, notably the McGinnis Ditch and the Baldy Lake Nat Rec Trail. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain around Coney Peak, capturing the complex network of gulches and creeks such as Noble Gulch and Foothen Creek that drain the high ridges.
