About this map

Lolo National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Sanders County, where dramatic elevation changes define the topography between Mt Headley and Mt Silcox. The area is characterized by a dense concentration of glacial cirque lakes and alpine basins, including Winniemuck Lake, Graves Lake, and the clustered Knowles Lake and Grass Lake. These water bodies feed a complex network of drainages like Graves Cr and Sqaylth-kwum-Cr that carve through the mountain range.

Human access is limited to a few corridors such as Graves Creek Rd and Weber Gulch Rd, which navigate the steep terrain toward prominent landmarks like Castle Rock and Cube Iron Mtn. The crossing at Cube Iron Pass serves as a critical waypoint for navigating the heights. This survey illustrates the protected wilderness character of the region, showing how the Forest Service infrastructure and natural landmarks like Duckhead Lake and Maier Gulch remain central to the geography of northwestern Montana.
