About this map

The Kootenai River carves a deep path through this borderland region where the Kaniksu National Forest and Kootenai National Forest meet. This survey captures a landscape defined by the drainage systems of the Purcell Mountains, including Curley Creek and Kingsley Cr, which feed the river from high peaks like Murphy Mtn and Haystack Mtn.

Evidence of historical transit and land use is visible in the network of forest development roads and the Old Hwy Two Lp, alongside more modern recreational paths such as the Kootenai River Walk. The map illustrates the complex intersection of state and county lines, specifically the Idaho-Montana border and the divide between Boundary and Lincoln counties. Small alpine water bodies, including Bonner Lake and Herman Lake, are scattered throughout the timbered terrain, marking significant landmarks for local navigation and land management.
