2020 Map of Cook Mountain

About this map

Cook Mtn and the steep drainages of the Lolo National Forest dominate this landscape on the border of Flathead and Sanders Counties. The topography is defined by a dense network of mountain streams, including Big Rock Creek in the north and the Thompson River flowing through the southern reach. The map illustrates a remote wilderness managed for timber and conservation, with access provided by industrial and forest routes such as Plum Creek Rd and Lower Prairie Rd. Natural landmarks like Hell-Roaring Canyon and Broken Nose Gulch reveal the sharp relief of the area, while smaller waterways like Semem Creek and Chippy Creek carve through the heavily forested sections of the quadrangle.
