About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, defined by a network of drainage basins and high ridges. The area is anchored by prominent elevations including Sheppard Mountain, Tepee Mountain, and the namesake Horse Hill. Drainage patterns are clearly marked by the paths of Little Wolf Creek and Wolf Creek in the south, while the northern terrain is shaped by the Brush Creek Divide.

Remote timberlands and high-elevation terrain are accessible primarily via forest routes, including those managed by the Ranger District. To the southwest, Island Lake provides a distinct water feature near Surprise Hill. The 1997 revision of this 1962 topography illustrates the enduring character of this Lincoln County backcountry, showing the relationship between steep alpine topography and the named creeks like Sinclair Creek and Sheppard Creek that carve through it.
