2017 Map of Davis Mountain

About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this section of the Salish Mountains in Lincoln County, where the high ridges of the Blackfoot Divide (Pinkham) and Blackfoot Divide (Grimm Mdow) separate the watersheds of the Kootenai River system. The drainage pattern is complex, with Swamp Creek and Lake Creek cutting through the mountainous terrain alongside prominent peaks like Davis Mtn and Sheep Mtn. The landscape is largely defined by its network of forest development routes, such as Lake Creek Rd and Pinkham Mtn Rd, which provide access to the remote backcountry. Along the southern edge, the Warland Ridge overlooks the valley of the South Fork Fivemile, illustrating the transition from steep mountain divides to the creek beds that define local geography. This survey provides a precise look at the forest's topographic structure just as digital mapping standards were being refined.
