2024 Map of Miller Lake

About this map

Kootenai National Forest, Kaniksu National Forest, and Lolo National Forest converge in this high-altitude corner of Northwest Montana. The landscape is defined by the high crests of the Cabinet Mountains, where drainage patterns shift between the Vermilion River and East Fisher Creek. Numerous alpine basins hold water at significant elevations, including Miller Lake and Sylvan Lake. A complex network of pack trails and forest roads, such as the Waloven/Himes Trl and Blacktail Loop Trl, provides access through steep passes like Himes Pass and Willow Creek Pass. The presence of several named peaks, including Owl Peak and Moose Peak, underscores the area's role as a critical watershed divide where the boundaries of Lincoln and Sanders counties meet.
