About this map

The Cabinet Mountains define this high-elevation landscape, where the Kaniksu National Forest meets the Kootenai National Forest. This terrain is characterized by massive ridgelines and deep glacial cirques, most notably around Goat Peak and Baree Mtn. The watershed is dominated by the Cabinet Divide S and Cabinet Divide E, which channel snowmelt into a network of alpine basins including Wanless Lake, Baree Lake, and the Bear Lakes.

Drainage systems like Swamp Creek and Silver Butte Creek carve through the steep topography, while remote access is maintained via the Divide Cutoff and the Natl Forest Develop Road 2220 Rd. The map also documents the transition between Lincoln and Sanders counties, following the high peaks such as Canyon Peak and Twenty Peak. This 2020 record serves as a precise catalog of the hydrologic and geological features of this protected wilderness.
