About this map

Lake Koocanusa dominates this portion of Lincoln County, stretching through a narrow valley within the Kootenai National Forest. The map documents the complex water network that feeds into this reservoir, including McGuire Creek, Tweed Creek, and the North Fork Parsnip Creek. To the west, the Purcell Mountains rise sharply, marked by high points like Parsnip Mountain and the High Divide.

On the eastern side of the reservoir, the terrain is defined by Inch Mountain and Warex Peak. The map provides detailed topography of the shoreline, noting features such as Rocky Gorge and Cedar Island near the southern bend of the Kootenai River. This 2017 survey reflects the contemporary landscape of this timber and water-rich region, identifying numerous drainages like Peck Gulch and Peters Gulch that carve through the steep ridges of the Kootenai interior.
