About this map

The Cabinet Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape in Northwest Montana, where the rugged topography is defined by the Pleasant Valley-Fisher River and its numerous tributaries. Much of the terrain is protected within the Kootenai National Forest, featuring a complex network of forestry access such as Natl Forest Develop Road 2346 Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 251 Rd. These routes track the drainage basins of Deer Creek and Calx Creek, providing access to the steep slopes and timberlands of the region.

In the eastern portion of the sheet, the terrain opens into Pleasant Valley along the border between Lincoln and Flathead counties. The hydrology is particularly dense, with smaller streams like Tamarack Creek, Marl Creek, and Chef Creek carving through the mountain system. This modern survey reflects the enduring character of a working forest landscape, where primary infrastructure remains focused on resource management and the preservation of the mountain wilderness.
