About this map

Cripple Horse Mountain and Boundary Mountain anchor this high-altitude landscape in Lincoln County, where the topography is defined by the steep drainage basins of the Kootenai National Forest. The intricate network of forest service routes, including Natl Forest Develop Road 4898 Rd and Boundary Mtn Rd, provides access to these peaks and the surrounding ridgelines.

Water systems play a central role in the geography here, with Cripple Horse Creek and its South Fork carving deep valleys in the northern half of the quadrangle. To the south, Canyon Creek and the North Fork Canyon Creek dominate the landscape beneath Hornet Ridge. This 2011 survey documents the modern management of these timberlands and the preservation of watershed corridors like Warland Creek in the northeast corner.
