2014 Map of Northwest Peak

About this map

Northwest Peak stands as the central landmark in this high-altitude section of the Purcell Mountains, marking a dramatic intersection of the Kanisku National Forest and Kootenai National Forest. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems and alpine basins, where Hawkins Lakes and Burke Lake feed into tributaries such as the S Fork Hawkins Cr and Aster Cr. In the southern reaches, the elevation rises toward Rock Candy Mtn and Black Top, overlooking the deep basin of Lake Florence.
