About this map

Helwick Peak and Mosquito Peak anchor this high-elevation landscape within the Kaniksu National Forest and Lolo National Forest boundary. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and timbered ridges, including Reader Gulch and Anderson Gulch, which feed into larger water bodies like Big Beaver Cr and White Pine Cr.

Evidence of forest management and access is clear through the system of National Forest Development Roads, such as Natl Forest Develop Road 301 Rd, while the presence of Craik Airport in the northeast corner suggests the importance of aerial access in this remote portion of Sanders County. The transition from the steep slopes of Larch Point down to the drainage at Monroe Gulch illustrates the complex topography that characterizes this section of the Northern Rockies.
