About this map

The Kootenai River carves a central path through this Lincoln County landscape, highlighted by the dramatic natural landmark of Kootenai Falls. Situated within the Kootenai National Forest, the terrain is defined by the high peaks of the Purcell Mountains and the Cabinet Divide North, including King Mtn and William Grambauer Mtn. The hydrology is particularly complex, featuring a series of glacial lakes such as Savage Lake, Schoolhouse Lake, and Milnor Lake, along with engineered waters like the Troy City Reservoir.

Settlement patterns are concentrated along the river valley and forest roads, with Larchwood Cem serving as a localized point of historical interest near the lakes. The presence of numerous forest development roads, including the Natl Forest Develop Road 4445 Rd and Bull Lake Rd, illustrates the area's ongoing management for timber and recreation. Significant topographical markers like Taylor Peak and China Rim/Flagstaff frame the horizon, offering a clear view of the mountain geography of northwest Montana.
