1999 Map of Lake Mountain

About this map

Scapegoat Wilderness dominates this mountainous landscape at the turn of the millennium, where the headwaters of the Blackfoot River system converge. The map illustrates a complex network of forest management and primitive access, centered on the North Fork Guard Sta and the nearby North Fork Cabin. High-altitude terrain is defined by Lake Mountain and the steep descents into Falls Creek Canyon, while the valley floors contain named points like Sourdough Flats. Drainage patterns are precisely detailed, following the Dry Fork Blackfoot River and North Fork Blackfoot River through a series of dramatic drops, including North Fork Falls. This 1999 revision highlights the intersections of the Lolo National Forest, Helena National Forest, and the Lewis and Clark and Powell county lines, reflecting the remote character of the Continental Divide backcountry.
