About this map

Kanisku National Forest and Lolo National Forest converge in this high-elevation region of Sanders County, defined by a complex drainage system of creeks and steep gulches. Prominent summits including Helwick Peak and Mosquito Peak tower over the landscape, while numerous smaller ridges like Larch Point and Haines Point break the terrain. The area's water network is primarily shaped by the east-flowing Big Beaver Cr and the northern reaches of White Pine Cr.

Remote infrastructure is sparse, highlighted by the presence of Craik Airport near the northeastern boundary and a network of specialized forestry routes such as Big Beaver Creek Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 2222 Rd. The map reveals a deeply etched landscape where family or local names are preserved in geographical features like Monroe Gulch, Eley Gulch, and Haines Gulch, providing clear geographic markers for researchers and surveyors tracking land usage in this timber-rich portion of western Montana.
