2024 Map of Northwest Peak OE N

About this map

Canada forms the southern boundary of this remote northern landscape, where the primary topographic features are defined by the intricate dendritic drainage of the Upper Yaak River basin. The map area is dominated by the headwaters of Hawkins Creek and its major tributary, South Hawkins Creek, which carve through the high terrain of Lincoln County. This 2024 survey captures a wilderness area largely devoid of modern development, emphasizing the natural hydrology of the Kootenai National Forest region. Smaller drainages like Manson Creek in the northwest and Cold Creek in the southwest contribute to the complex watershed that flows southward from the international border. The survey also identifies several Public Land Survey System parcels, including PB 38 and PB 42, which sit just north of the border line within t37n r34w.
