About this map

Lake Koocanusa dominates this high-country landscape, where the Kootenai River flows through the deep valley separating the Purcell Mountains to the west from the peaks of the Kootenai National Forest to the east. This 2014 survey documents a wilderness environment defined by significant topographic relief, from the shoreline at Cedar Island to the high vantage point at the Warex Lookout Tower.

Evidence of the area's drainage and logging history is visible in the numerous named gulches and creeks feeding the main reservoir, including Peck Gulch, Allen Gulch, and Parsnip Cr. The presence of Mount Hwy 37 hugging the eastern shore provides the primary access through this corridor, winding past landforms like Inch Mtn and the steep walls of Rocky Gorge. The map serves as a detailed record of public land boundaries and the network of forest roads serving the mountain interior.
