1963 Map of Mc Guire Mountain

About this map

Kootenai National Forest lands dominate this mid-century topographic survey, characterized by high elevations and a network of named peaks and drainage basins. Central to the sheet is the summit of McGuire Mountain, flanked by Lydia Mountain and Sutton Mountain. These heights are dissected by a complex system of waterways including Sutton Creek, Skid Creek, and West Fork Pinkham Creek, which carve out the deep basins seen throughout the terrain. While the area is largely defined by its natural topography, the presence of several Pack Trail routes and unnamed Springs highlights the limited access and primitive infrastructure available at the time. The mapping of small drainages like Briery Creek and Allen Gulch provides a detailed look at the hydrology that feeds the larger Tenmile Creek system in this portion of Lincoln County.
