1997 Map of Northwest Peak

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

Northwest Peak and the high alpine ridges of the Kaniksu National Forest dominate this 1997 revision of the Lincoln County high country. Situated directly on the border between the United States and Canada, this terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and glacial lakes. Headwaters for Hawkins Creek, Spread Creek, and the Yaak River carve deep valleys through the mountains, while high-altitude water bodies like Burke Lake, Lake Florence, and Hawkins Lakes sit in the shadows of prominent summits such as Davis Mountain and Rock Candy Mountain. The map illustrates a strictly managed wilderness, showing the intersection of the Bonners Ferry Ranger District and the Three Rivers Ranger District. This intersection highlights how forest management and international boundaries have preserved the primitive character of the Kootenai National Forest into the late 20th century.
