About this map

The Kootenai River and Yaak River converge in this corner of the Kootenai National Forest, defining a landscape where waterway management and resource extraction are central themes. A prominent Gaging Station on the Yaak River and several Gravel Pits along the western slopes indicate the intersection of wilderness and industrial utility in the late twentieth century.

Elevations rise sharply toward Yaak Mountain, while the hydrology of the eastern portion is anchored by Kilbrennan Lake and its feeder streams. The map traces several distinct drainage systems, including O'Brien Creek and Ruby Creek, providing a detailed look at the tributary network that feeds into the larger river basins. In the south, a portion of Alvord Lake appears, marking the boundary of the mountainous terrain as it transitions toward the larger valley floor.
