About this map

The Idaho and Montana state line bisects this remote mountain landscape, where the Kootenai and Kaniksu National Forests meet. High-elevation peaks such as Goat Mtn, Reno Mtn, and Thunder Mtn define the drainage basins for numerous creeks, including the headwaters of Hellroaring Creek and N Fork Meadow Creek. The geography here is marked by prominent ridges like Buckhorn Ridge and Keno Ridge, which separate the various sub-basins of the Purcell Mountains.

Among these steep slopes are smaller bodies of water like Solomon Lake and Perkins Lake, which provide a contrast to the dense network of forest service roads such as Deer Creek Rd and Skin Creek Rd. This modern survey documents the area's continued use as a managed timber and recreation resource, preserving the specific placement of landmarks like The Scout and the namesake Line Point along the state boundary.
