About this map

Mount Headley and the high ridges of the Lolo National Forest dominate this 2020 landscape in Sanders County. The topography is defined by a dense concentration of alpine water bodies, including the clusters around Knowles Lake, Porcupine Lake, and the uniquely shaped Duckhead Lake. This high-elevation terrain is marked by significant peaks such as Cube Iron Mountain and Mount Silcox, which overlook a network of drainages like Winniemuck Creek and Honeymoon Creek.

Deep gulches like Maier Gulch and Weber Gulch cut through the southern portion of the quadrangle, while the passage through the mountains is highlighted by Cube Iron Pass. This modern survey illustrates the enduring wilderness character of the region, where only a few established routes like Silcox Road and Graves Creek Road penetrate the lower elevations, leaving the glacial cirque lakes and summits accessible primarily by trail.
