About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this mountain landscape in Lincoln County, where steep drainages and mining history converge. The terrain is defined by prominent rises like Prospect Hill and Shaughnessy Hill, leading south to the namesake Little Hoodoo Mountain. Human activity is concentrated along the valleys of Libby Creek and Big Cherry Creek, where the small settlements of White Haven and Pioneer Junction sit near the Mc Grade Sch.

Mineral extraction is a visible part of the local economy, represented by the Herbert Mine and Lukens Hazel Mine tucked into the western slopes. Transportation through this forest land follows the rugged path of the Old Snowshoe Road, while the presence of the Libby Fisheries Station and multiple Gaging Stations along Flower Creek and Granite Creek points to the area's managed water resources and conservation efforts during the mid-twentieth century.
