About this map

The Kootenai National Forest dominates this northern Montana landscape, where the Tobacco River and its numerous tributaries carve through the Whitefish Range. The settlement of Tobacco sits near the river's upper reaches, while Fortine serves as a primary hub further south along the banks of Fortine Cr. This 2020 survey illustrates a region defined by its water resources and forest management, featuring numerous named lakes like Glen Lake, Barnaby Lake, and Crystal Lake.

Local landmarks such as the Fortine Cem and the Crystal Lakes Resort Airport provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The map also traces an extensive network of forest and logging roads, including Sinclair Creek Rd and Grave Creek Rd, which provide access to the backcountry and various springs. The map documents the persistent infrastructure required to navigate and manage this timber-rich environment.
