1997 Map of Little Hoodoo Mountain

About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this landscape in Lincoln County, where the industrial legacy of northwestern Montana is etched into the terrain. The network of waterways, including Libby Creek and Cherry Creek, once supported a flurry of mining activity, evidenced by the numerous prospects and established sites like the Herbert Mine and Double Mac Mine. Near the eastern edge, the settlements of White Haven and Pioneer Junction represent the residential growth around the city of Libby, while institutional markers like the Mc Grade Sch and the Heritage Museum anchor the local community history. The presence of the Libby Fisheries Station and multiple gaging stations along the mountain creeks reflects the ongoing management of the region's natural resources. From the heights of Little Hoodoo Mountain to the path of the Old Snowshoe Road, the map details a region transitioning from raw resource extraction to modern forest management and residential expansion.
