2017 Map of Lost Horse Mountain

About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this landscape in Lincoln County, defined by the high peaks of the Purcell Mountains and the distinct summit of Lost Horse Mtn. The drainage network is complex, with Vinal Creek and Turner Creek carving through the terrain, the latter featuring Turner Falls. High-elevation water bodies like the Fish Lakes sit near the northern boundary, while multiple trails and forest roads provide the primary access through these woods. The presence of the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail and specialized routes like the N Fork Big Creek Snowmobl Spur reflect the area's modern identity as a managed wilderness and recreational corridor. Topographical landmarks such as Beetle Hill and Bunker Hill provide clear reference points for those tracking historical forest boundaries and natural drainage basins.
