About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this topographic study, where the high peaks of the northwestern Montana landscape are meticulously detailed. The terrain is anchored by McGuire Mountain and the dual peaks of Sutton Mountain and Little Sutton Mountain. This area is defined by its drainage network, with numerous waterways such as Sutton Creek, Briery Creek, and Tenmile Creek carving through the steep elevations.

A network of primitive transit routes, including the McGuire Trail and various stretches of Pack Trail, highlights the era's reliance on non-motorized access for forest management and fire lookout support. Small Springs and the headwaters of the West Fork Pinkham Creek provide critical water sources in this high-altitude environment, while Allen Gulch and Lydia Mountain serve as prominent landmarks for navigation across the forest's rugged interior.
