About this map

Pulpit Mountain and its surrounding high-elevation ridges dominate this portion of Lincoln County, defined by a complex drainage system within the Kootenai National Forest area. The landscape is carved by numerous watercourses, including North Fork O'Brien Creek and O'Brien Creek, which collect runoff from the surrounding peaks like Gunsight Mountain and Feeder Mountain. At higher elevations, geographic features such as Studebaker Draw and the prominent Pulpit Ridge indicate the steep verticality of the terrain.

Industrial and recreational access is documented through a network of forest roads, including RD 2380 and the Rabbit Creek RD. These routes provide the primary connection through the dense drainage basins of Hummingbird Creek and Lynx Creek. Small alpine features like Wee Lake and the southern slopes of China Mountain reflect the remote character of this Montana wilderness as it was surveyed in the early twenty-first century.
