About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this topographic study of Lincoln County, Montana, revealing a landscape defined by timber and mineral extraction during the mid-1960s. The eastern portion of the map centers on the small settlements of White Haven and Pioneer Junction, where the Mc Grade Sch and the Libby Fisheries Station are located. This area serves as a transition from the narrow valley floor of Libby Creek and Big Cherry Creek into the steep, high-elevation terrain of the Cabinet Mountains.

The map details an active history of prospecting and mining, with sites such as the Lukens Hazel Mine, Herbert Mine, and Double Mac Mine scattered along the drainages of Granite Creek and Horse Creek. Infrastructure supporting these activities is visible in the presence of a Gaging Station and the winding path of Snowshoe Road. Prominent peaks like Little Hoodoo Mountain and Shaughnessy Hill overlook a network of alpine waters, including Flower Creek and the remote Double N Lake.
