About this map

Lincoln Sanders Ridge and the steep elevation of the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness dominate this late-century survey of the Montana interior. The landscape is defined by the sharp divide between the Bull River valley and the high summits of Ibex Peak and Berray Mountain. The northern reaches of the map show the southern tip of Bull Lake, where the Bad Medicine area sits near the edge of the water.

Transport is limited to a network of 4wd tracks and forest roads that navigate the complex drainages of Ross Creek, Berray Creek, and Chippewa Creek. For researchers, the map provides precise placement for local landmarks like Snake Creek Pass and the Gravel Pit near the river. This document illustrates a region managed through the overlapping jurisdictions of the Kootenai National Forest and Kaniksu National Forest, preserving a snapshot of the wilderness before subsequent forest service management shifts.
