1991 Map of Lynch Lake

About this map

Pleasant Valley and the surrounding timberlands of the Kootenai National Forest define this landscape along the border of Lincoln and Flathead Counties. The drainage systems are the primary focal points of the terrain, with Coniff Creek and Pleasant Valley Creek feeding into the south-flowing Fisher River. This 1991 revision, based on earlier 1963 imagery, shows a region characterized by isolated water bodies like Island Lake and the unusually named Island Lynch Lake. Rural infrastructure is sparse, concentrated primarily on the Pleasant Valley Sch and a scattered network of forest roads and light-duty routes. A small Gravel Pit near the river indicates local resource extraction, while the presence of a Well and specific Springs suggests the importance of groundwater in this montane environment.
