2014 Map of Coopers Lake

About this map

Lolo National Forest and Helena National Forest converge in this high-elevation landscape, where the North Fork Blackfoot River carves through the terrain. The central valley is defined by Kleinschmidt Flat, a notable geological feature that stands in contrast to the surrounding peaks like Echo Mtn and the crossing at Echo Pass. Water management for earlier ranching or agricultural efforts is evident through the presence of the Old Lund Ditch and Jorgenson Ditch, which trace the contours near Bear Creek. The map shows a transition from the wilderness of the national forests to the small settlements and seasonal outposts of Deer Park, connected by a network of ranch roads such as White Tail Ranch Rd and Cooper Lake Rd that lead toward the prominent Coopers Lake.
