2024 Map of McGuire Mountain

About this map

The Salish Mountains define this high-altitude landscape in the Kootenai National Forest, where a complex network of peaks and drainages supports a vast system of forest access. The terrain is anchored by significant summits including McGuire Mtn, Lydia Mtn, and Sutton Mtn. This modern survey reveals how the mountain economy has transitioned from early homesteading, evidenced by Homestead Dr, to a sophisticated management area crisscrossed by roads like Natl Forest Develop Road 7993 Rd. Water flows from these heights through numerous drainages, most notably McGuire Creek and Flat Creek. The presence of specialized features like the Tenmile Talus Slope near Tenmile Mtn indicates a geologically active environment, while a dense network of trails such as the Lydia Pinkham Trl and McGuire/Inch Trl provides a detailed record of high-country accessibility in northwestern Montana.
