2011 Map of Pink Mountain

About this map

Pink Mountain and Big Creek Baldy Mountain define the high country of Lincoln County in this 2011 survey of the Kootenai National Forest. The landscape is carved by a dense network of drainages, where the East Fork Pipe Creek and South Fork Big Creek serve as primary collectors for numerous mountain streams like Deception Creek, Bearfire Creek, and Weasel Creek. This terrain is accessible via a complex system of timber and forest management routes, including the Zulu Cr Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 712 Rd. The naming conventions found here—from the ominous Deception Creek to the descriptive Bruin Creek—reflect a wilderness defined by its natural hazards and wildlife, long before modern development altered the mountain reaches.
