About this map

Lake Koocanusa dominates this Lincoln County landscape, a massive reservoir formed by the damming of the Kootenai River. In this 2011 edition, the waterway is flanked by the steep rising slopes of the Purcell Mountains, with Inch Mountain standing as a primary peak to the east. The map detail reflects a region dedicated to forestry and recreation, highlighting the access provided by the Natl Forest Develop Road 255 Rd and numerous secondary forest service routes.

Remote infrastructure for fire observation and backcountry travel is well-documented, specifically the Warex Lookout Tower and multiple campgrounds including Peck Gulch Campground and Rocky Gorge Campground. Hydrological patterns are defined by high-altitude drainages such as Big Creek, McGuire Creek, and the various forks of Parsnip Creek that feed into the reservoir. This modern survey is an essential reference for understanding contemporary land management and terrain within the Kootenai National Forest.
