About this map

Lolo National Forest encompasses this mountain landscape in Sanders County, dominated by the towering summits of Priscilla Peak and Liver Peak. The drainage patterns of the Thompson River and its primary tributary, the W Fork Thompson River, define the deep valleys and steep slopes of the Cabinet Mountains region. This 2017 survey captures a wilderness area punctuated by remote water bodies like Honeymoon Lake and a network of high-elevation drainages including Deerhorn Cr and Barktable Cr.

The terrain is marked by significant topographical landmarks such as Sundance Ridge and View Point, providing a record of the forest's ridgeline geography. Human infrastructure is limited to primitive forest roads like the Thompson River Rd, highlighting the area's character as a managed natural resource. Significant local drainages like Priscilla Gulch and Sleepy Gulch contribute to the complex hydrologic network that feeds into the Clark Fork river system further downstream.
