About this map

The Galton Range dominates this 2014 survey of Lincoln County, Montana, just south of the Canadian border. This high-altitude landscape is defined by the peaks of Ksanka Peak, Saint Clair Peak, and Mt Barnaby, which overlook a network of alpine basins and headwater creeks. The Kootenai National Forest encompasses the entire area, preserving the primitive character of drainage systems like Bluebird Creek and Wolverine Creek.

Glacial topography is evident in the cluster of small lakes at high elevations, including Bluebird Lake, Paradise Lake, and the Ten Lakes Basin in the northeast corner. While largely roadless and dominated by steep terrain like the Ksanka Foothills, the southern portion of the map shows limited access via Sinclair Creek Road and Osprey Road. This map provides a clear record of the watershed and topographic layout of the northwestern Montana wilderness before any modern industrial or commercial developments altered the drainage patterns.
