2014 Map of Kilbrennan Lake

About this map

Yakt is positioned along the Kootenai River in this northern Montana landscape, where the river's path is carved through the towering Purcell Mountains. The confluence of the Yaak River and the Kootenai creates a distinct valley structure, largely contained within the protected lands of the Kootenai National Forest. This 2014 survey reveals a rugged geography defined by numerous tributary streams, including O'Brien Creek and Ruby Creek, which drain the surrounding highlands toward the primary river systems. To the east, the terrain rises toward Yaak Mountain, while pockets of water like Kilbrennan Lake and Alvord Lake provide localized geographical anchors. The forest road network, including the ANC Creek Rd and Yaak River Rd, illustrates the access patterns developed for timber management and backcountry navigation in this portion of Lincoln County.
