About this map

Ksanka Peak and the high ridges of the Galton Range dominate this northern landscape, which straddles the border region near Lake Koocanusa. The map documents a network of high-altitude water bodies, from the Ten Lakes Basin in the northeast to the Wolverine Lakes and Bluebird Lake. These alpine lakes are connected by a system of steep drainages, including Sinclair Creek and Therriault Creek, that carve through the surrounding peaks.

Remote infrastructure is concentrated around the recreation sites at Little Therriault Lake Campground and Big Therriault Campground. The presence of the Bluebird Cabin near Bluebird Basin suggests the area's long-standing use for forest management or backcountry shelter. While higher elevations like Independence Peak remain trackless, the southern valleys show established forest roads such as Natl Forest Develop Road 7120 Rd and B Mountain Rd, facilitating access to Glen Lake at the bottom of the quadrangle.
