2017 Map of Newton Mountain

About this map

The Kootenai National Forest dominates this section of Lincoln County, where the Purcell Mountains define the high-elevation landscape. The settlement of Sylvanite sits in the northeast corner near the junction of Cedar Rd and Tamarack Ln, serving as a gateway to the surrounding peaks. This 2017 survey details a network of forest roads and trails, such as the Redtop Cyclone and Wampoo / Newton, which provide access to remote summits like Abe Lincoln Mtn, Keystone Mtn, and Newton Mtn. The Yaak River flows through the eastern edge of the quadrangle, punctuated by the notable Yaak Falls in the southeast. Numerous drainages, including Fourth of July Cr, Cyclone Cr, and Wampoo Cr, carve through the terrain, illustrating the complex watershed that feeds the river system.
