About this map

The Salish Mountains dominate this portion of the Kootenai National Forest in northwest Montana, characterized by a complex drainage network that defines the high-elevation landscape. Major peaks such as Davis Mtn and Sheep Mtn provide the anchor points for numerous watercourses, including Lake Cr and the branching Fivemile Cr.

A network of forestry access routes, including Lake Creek Rd and Five Mile Creek Rd, traverses the slopes, illustrating the 21st-century management of these timberlands. The map reveals how the terrain dictates the flow of water through deep draws and basins, seen in the paths of Grimm Cr and Swamp Cr. This survey captures the topographical intricacies of Lincoln County before more recent environmental changes or development altered the forest's primitive character.
