1997 Map of Fortine
USGS Topo · Published 2000About this map
Fortine stands as the primary settlement in this corner of northwest Montana, situated along the Burlington Northern rail line and Fortine Creek. The landscape is a complex patchwork of private holdings and the Kootenai National Forest, defined by a dense network of water bodies including Glen Lake, Murphy Lake, and the smaller Barnaby Lake. The presence of the Crystal Lake Resort near Crystal Lake and a local Golf Course suggests the area's development as a recreational destination by the late 1990s, even as traditional landmarks like the local Cemetery and various gravel pits remain. The Tobacco River and Therriault Creek drain this section of the Whitefish Range, where the intersection of timber management and mountain tourism is clearly visible through the numerous forest roads and trails that traverse the terrain.
