2020 Map of Lost Horse Mountain

About this map

Lost Horse Mtn rises as a central landmark within the high peaks of the Purcell Mountains, anchoring this portion of the Kootenai National Forest. This 2020 survey documents a landscape defined by its rugged drainages and high-altitude water bodies, including the Fish Lakes and the headwaters of Vinal Creek. The map details a sophisticated network of recreational routes, most notably the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail as it traverses the ridges. Seasonal access is highlighted through specialized pathways such as the Copeland Trail (Snow) and the Fowler Snowmobile (Snow) route. The drainage patterns of Turner Creek and N Fork Big Cr illustrate the complex topography of Lincoln County, where fire lookouts or historic survey points like Beetle Hill and Bunker Hill command the horizon.
