About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this section of Lincoln County, where the high ridges of the Purcell Mountains define the local topography. This 2017 survey details a landscape carved by the S Fork Yaak River and several significant drainages, including Pipe Cr and Seventeenmile Cr. The terrain is marked by prominent peaks such as Chief Peak, Indian Peak, and Flatiron Mtn, which sits just above Flatiron Ridge. High-elevation water bodies like Lake Rene and Rainbow Lake provide essential landmarks within the dense forest canopy.

Transportation through these mountains relies on primitive access routes like Pipe Creek Rd and various development roads, including the Natl Forest Develop Road 878 Rd. This network links isolated points such as Grush Gulch and Clay Mtn. The map preserves the complex cadastral boundaries of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating how township and range lines intersect with the natural drainage patterns of Hemlock Cr and Papoose Cr.
