1997 Map of Pink Mountain

About this map

Baldy Mountain Lookout stands as a prominent high point in this 1990s revision of the northwestern Montana landscape. The map detail is dominated by the complex drainage systems of the Kootenai National Forest, where steep ridgelines separate numerous waterways such as Pipe Creek, Big Creek, and Deception Creek. This era of the Forest Service’s management is recorded through the administrative boundaries of the Rexford, Three Rivers, and Libby ranger districts, which converge within these mountains. Named peaks like Pink Mountain and a network of forestry roads and trails illustrate the geographic character of Lincoln County before modern digital mapping. The presence of Bearfire Creek and Beulah Creek flowing through these timbered slopes reflects the vital watershed role of the region's protected federal lands.
