About this map

Libby serves as the focal point for this survey of northwest Montana, where the Kootenai River cuts through the dramatic elevation shifts between the Purcell Mountains to the north and the Cabinet Mountains to the south. The town's layout is clearly defined, with streets like W 4th St and Flower Creek RD leading toward the river valley. Surrounding the settlement, the Kootenai National Forest dominates the landscape, protecting various peaks and ridges such as Lindy Peak and the extensive Sheldon Mountain complex.

The presence of the Libby Cem and several flatlands, including Parmenter Flat and Sheldon Flats, suggests the historical importance of these level areas for both development and agriculture in an otherwise mountainous region. Drainage patterns are well-documented through features like Pipe Cr, Bobtail Cr, and Lost Cr, illustrating how water management and natural flow have shaped the accessibility of the region's timber and recreational resources.
