About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this section of Lincoln County, where the high ridges of the Purcell Mountains define the local topography. The landscape is characterized by a network of drainage systems, including the S Fork Yaak River and several significant creeks such as Seventeenmile Cr and Flattail Cr. These waterways are flanked by prominent elevations like Sheepherder Mtn and Clay Mtn, while the central Flatiron Mtn and its associated Flatiron Ridge provide a topographical anchor for the surrounding terrain.

Accessibility is primarily provided by Forest Service development roads, such as Pipe Creek Rd and Zulu Cr Rd, which follow the contours of the valley floors. Small bodies of water like Rainbow Lake are tucked into the drainages below Chief Peak and Indian Peak, illustrating the remote wilderness character of this area. The map also delineates historical township and range boundaries including t34n r32w and t35n r31w, reflecting the long-established surveying framework of the American West.
