About this map

Kootenai National Forest encompasses the high country of Lincoln County in this 2014 survey, where the Purcell Mountains dominate the eastern reaches of the map. The landscape is defined by its drainage networks, with the waters of Parsnip Cr and its tributaries, including Middle Fork Parsnip Cr, flowing through the steep terrain. Notable summits and ridges such as Parsnip Mtn, Garden Ridge, and Lawrence Mtn provide significant landmarks for navigation and land management.

Access to this remote region is facilitated by the Natl Forest Develop Road 255 Rd and Big Cr Rd, which snake through the valleys. The map shows the intricate relationship between the mountainous topography and the forest service infrastructure, highlighting the importance of naming conventions for local hydrology, from Copeland Cr to Maxine Cr. This detailed record captures the modern state of these public lands prior to any recent shifts in forest access or fire history.
