About this map

Keystone Mountain and Newton Mountain dominate this corner of Lincoln County, defined by a series of high ridges and deep drainages. The landscape is marked by a history of extraction and monitoring, with the Keystone Mine, Morning Glory Mine, and Black Diamond Mine scattered across the slopes. A network of specialized equipment, including the Friday Hill Snow Gage and Fourth of July Snow Gage, suggests the importance of water resource management and winter snowpack tracking in these mountains.

The Yaak River flows through the eastern portion of the area, punctuated by the Yaak Falls and the adjacent Yaak Falls Campground. Tributaries such as Fourth of July Creek, Cyclone Creek, and Wampoo Creek carve out the terrain between peaks like Abe Lincoln Mountain and Tepee Mountain. This 2011 survey reflects a modern forest landscape where industrial heritage and recreational access overlap along routes like Redtop Cyclone and Cedar Rd.
