About this map

Helwick Peak and Mosquito Peak define the high ridgelines of this Northwest Montana landscape, where the Cabinet Ranger District manages a complex intersection of forest boundaries. The terrain is deeply incised by a dense network of watercourses, including White Pine Creek and Beaver Creek, which drain the steep slopes of the Kaniksu National Forest and Lolo National Forest.

A single Prospect and a Gravel Pit suggest localized resource extraction amidst the timberlands. The survey highlights the administrative hand-off between forests, noting areas of the Kaniksu administered by Kootenai National Forest. Significant elevation markers like Haines Point and Larch Point serve as focal points for the surrounding drainages, including Emma Creek and the North Fork Clear Creek.
