2011 Map of Flatiron Mountain

About this map

Flatiron Mountain and its surrounding peaks dominate this part of the Kootenai National Forest in northwestern Montana. The landscape is defined by high-elevation hydrology, where Lake Rene and Rainbow Lake feed into a complex system of drainages, including the South Fork Yaak River and the headwaters of Seventeenmile Creek. This 2011 survey illustrates the modern road network and forest management access, specifically highlighting Pipe Creek Rd as a primary corridor through the mountainous terrain. Between Indian Peak and Chief Peak, the terrain gives way to numerous named watercourses such as Papoose Creek, Sheepherder Creek, and Clay Creek. These features demonstrate the rugged, high-country character of Lincoln County, where seasonal waters and prominent ridges like Clay Mountain and Sheepherder Mountain dictate the local geography.
