2024 Map of Inch Mountain

About this map

Lake Koocanusa dominates the central landscape of this Lincoln County quadrangle, a significant reservoir formed by the damming of the Kootenai River. Situated within the Kootenai National Forest, the map illustrates a terrain defined by steep ridges and drainages typical of the Purcell Mountains. High-elevation landmarks such as Inch Mtn and the various forks of Parsnip Creek provide a clear view of the complex hydrology and topography that shape this wilderness area. The presence of Cedar Island near the southern extent of the water body serves as a notable navigational point for those studying the shoreline as it exists today. A network of Forest Service routes, including the Natl Forest Develop Road 255 Rd and several historic footpaths like the Warex Peak Trl, reveals the infrastructure used for modern forest management and back-country recreation.
