2020 Map of Pulpit Mountain

About this map

Pulpit Mtn and the high ridges of the Purcell Mountains dominate this 2020 landscape in the Kootenai National Forest. The map details a complex network of forest development roads and primitive trails, including the Skyline Nrt (Skyline Ridge) and the Pulpit Mountain Nrt, which trace the sharp topographical divides of northwestern Montana. This modern survey reflects a region primarily defined by its drainage basins and high-elevation land management rather than permanent settlement. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous waterways such as O'Brien Cr and Hummingbird Cr, which flow from peaks like Gunsight Mtn and Feeder Mtn. A distinctive feature of this particular quadrangle is the inclusion of several "PB" or Protracted Block designations, indicating areas of the Public Land Survey System that were unsurveyed at the time of the original township plats.
