About this map

The high peaks of the Kootenai National Forest dominate this Lincoln County landscape, centered on the elevations of Sheep Mtn and Davis Mtn. The small settlement of Trego sits in the northeast corner of the quadrangle, serving as a gateway to an extensive network of drainage basins including Swamp Creek and Fivemile Creek. The map documents a rugged terrain defined by its water systems and forest infrastructure, with numerous National Forest Development Roads and trails providing access to the backcountry.

Outdoor recreation and forest management are evident through the preservation of historic paths like the Blackfoot Divide (Pinkham) Trl and the Warland Ridge Trl. These trails, along with the South Fork Fivemile Trl, trace the ridgelines and creek beds that have likely guided travel through these mountains for generations. The drainage patterns of Cayuse Creek and Lake Creek illustrate the complex hydrology of this part of Montana's northwest corner.
