About this map

Fortine sits at the southwestern edge of a landscape defined by the high elevations of the Whitefish Range and the Kootenai National Forest. This 2024 survey detail reveals a complex network of seasonal access and recreational routes, including the Deep Creek X-C Ski Trl and the Grave Creek Snowmobile Trl, which navigate the steep drainage systems of Grave Creek and Deep Creek. The topography is marked by prominent summits such as Mt Marston, Krinklehorn Peak, and Krag Peak, while Gibraltar Ridge dominates the northwestern terrain.

Industrial and forest management footprints are evident in the numerous numbered development roads, such as Natl Forest Develop Road 7019 Rd, which support the region's timber and recreational infrastructure. Genealogists and local historians can trace the transition from the settlement at Fortine into the high backcountry of the Kootenai National Forest, where older trails like the Krinklehorn/Locke Trl and Laughing Water Trl follow the path of earlier wilderness travel through these drainage basins.
