2020 Map of Ibex Peak

About this map

Bull Lake dominates the northwest corner of this mountain landscape, serving as a focal point where the Kootenai National Forest and Kaniksu National Forest meet. The terrain is defined by the high ridges of the Cabinet Mountains, which channel numerous watercourses toward the Bull River valley. Deep drainages such as Baker Gulch, Hamilton Gulch, and Weasel Gulch provide a window into the complex topography of the range. Access is maintained through a network of forest roads including Bull Lake Rd and S Fork Bull River Rd, which follow the natural contours of the river basins. High-altitude landmarks like Ibex Peak, the jagged Bad Medicine Spires, and Berray Mtn offer fixed points for understanding the wilderness boundary at the Lincoln Co Sanders Co line. Significant elevation changes are marked by features like Snake Creek Pass and Dad Peak, illustrating the remote nature of this northwestern Montana corridor.
