2014 Map of Cook Mountain

About this map

Lolo National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, which straddles the boundary between Flathead County and Sanders County. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably at Cook Mtn and the steep walls of Hell Roaring Canyon. A complex network of drainage systems, including Big Rock Cr, Chippy Cr, and Bear Cr, feeds into the southward-flowing Thompson River. This 2014 survey documents the Forest Service road system, such as routes 16113 and 18481, which provide access through the dense gulches and ridges. The presence of features like Broken Nose Gulch reflects the local naming traditions of this timber and wilderness region. It is a specialized view of modern forest management and natural topography in northwest Montana.
