2020 Map of Fishtrap Lake

About this map

Kaniksu National Forest and Lolo National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape within Sanders County. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent summits, including Marmot Peak, Benson Peak, and Lone Tree Peak, which rise above the complex drainages of the Fishtrap Cr system. To the north, Upper Fishtrap Lake serves as a primary water feature, fed by the Cooler Cr. This area is heavily managed for forest development, as evidenced by a network of specialized access routes such as Nat For Dev Rd Rd 7593 and Nat For Dev Rd Rd 516. The mapping reflects a rugged interior where drainages like Beartrap Fork and W Fork Fishtrap Cr create a labyrinth of steep draws, such as Lulu Gulch and Shorthorn Gulch, illustrating the remote and specialized nature of this timber and conservation land.
