About this map

Ksanka Peak and the surrounding Galton Range dominate this 2017 study of the Kootenai National Forest along the international border with British Columbia. The landscape is defined by high-elevation water bodies and drainage systems, including Bluebird Lake, Paradise Lake, and the Wolverine Lakes complex. Significant peaks such as Independence Peak, Poorman Mtn, and Mt Barnaby create a series of basins, most notably Poorman Basin, Bluebird Basin, and Ten Lakes Basin.

Modern recreational access is documented through the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail, which winds past Saint Clair Peak and connects the diverse topography of the Lincoln County high country. Notable watercourses like Blacktail Cr and Sinclair Cr flow through the valleys, while the Ther Riault Pass provides a key navigational point near Big Therriault Lake. The map also preserves the administrative boundaries of various sections, noted as PB units, alongside forest development routes like Sinclair Creek RD.
