About this map

Fisher River carves a deep valley through this portion of the Kootenai National Forest during the late 1990s. The landscape is defined by its industrial and topographic landmarks, notably the Fisher River Siding and a nearby Gravel Pit along the river's eastern banks. High points like Fisher Mountain and Lightning Peak overlook a complex network of drainage basins, including Wolf Creek, Cow Creek, and Snell Creek.

Logistics and forest management are evident through the Fisher Mountain Rd and the presence of the Libby Fisher River Ranger District boundary. This 1997 revision, based on earlier topographic data and 1992 imagery, provides a detailed look at the infrastructure of the Kootenai National Forest before the turn of the millennium, documenting the forest roads and railroad sidings that supported the local timber and transport economy.
