About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this section of Lincoln County, where the drainage systems of Cripple Horse Cr and Canyon Cr carve through high-elevation terrain. The landscape is defined by prominent elevations including Cripple Horse Mtn, Boundary Mountain, and the long spine of Hornet Ridge. A network of Forest Service infrastructure provides access to these peaks, most notably via Natl Forest Develop Road 835 Rd and Canyon Cr Rd.

Tracing the southeast corner reveals Sugarloaf Lookout, a key observation point overlooking the Canyon Divide. The map illustrates a contemporary forestry and wilderness management era, where the intricate network of secondary forks, such as N Fork Canyon Creek and S Fork Cripple Horse Cr, dictates the movement through this high country. This document is a precise record of the hydrological and topographic features that shape the northwestern Montana backcountry.
