2014 Map of McGuire Mountain

About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this section of Lincoln County, characterized by a complex network of high peaks and creek drainages. The landscape is defined by the prominent McGuire Mtn and the adjacent Sutton Mtn and Little Sutton Mtn, which serve as the primary topographic anchors for the surrounding wilderness. A distinctive geomorphic feature, the Tenmile Talus Slope, is noted on the eastern side of the quadrangle near the waters of Tenmile Cr. The mapping shows a remote area primarily accessed by forest service routes, with Homestead Dr providing a rare named roadway in the eastern foothills. Water systems are well-defined, with McGuire Cr, Sutton Cr, and W Fork Pinkham Cr carving deep paths through the timbered terrain, reflecting the drainage patterns common to the northwestern Montana mountains.
