2017 Map of Mount Henry

About this map

Yaak sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape in the Kootenai National Forest, where the river and mountain terrain dictate the pattern of settlement. Local history is anchored by the Boyd Mill Cem near the riverbanks, while the surrounding peaks of the Purcell Mountains define the horizon. Significant peaks such as Grubstake Mtn, Wood Mtn, and the namesake Mt Henry rise above the drainage systems of the Yaak River and its multiple forks. This area is characterized by a dense network of water features, including the remote Mount Henry Lakes, Okaga Lake, and Fish Lakes. The presence of the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail and the Purcell Summit NRT highlights the transition of this area from a raw timber and mining frontier into a destination for long-distance wilderness travel.
