About this map

Lolo National Forest encompasses the high country of the Coeur d'Alene Mountains in this modern survey of Sanders County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of gulches and drainages, most notably Driveway Peak which sits at the center of a complex topography. Waterways such as Prospect Cr and Clear Cr serve as the primary geographical markers, carving out the valleys where much of the area's named history is found.

A network of forestry routes, including Natl Forest Develop Road 7644 Rd and Prospect Creek Rd, provides access to these steep terrains. Local nomenclature reflects the era of exploration and potential mineral discovery, evidenced by labels like Lucky Boy Gulch, Shamrock Gulch, and Buster Brown Gulch. These names hint at a history of prospecting and resource extraction that has long characterized this corner of the Cabinet Mountains region.
