2017 Map of Quinns Hot Springs

About this map

Quinns Hot Springs serves as a central landmark where the Clark Fork river snakes through the steep elevations of the Coeur d'Alene Mountains. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the confluence area where the Flathead River joins the Clark Fork, a vital corridor for both transport and hydrology in Sanders County. The landscape is dominated by the protected timberlands of the Lolo National Forest, reaching high points at Patricks Knob and plunging into drainages like Hall Gulch and Much Water Cr. Local infrastructure is visible in the presence of John Tunnel and the small settlement of Quinns, reflecting the long-standing intersection of natural thermal features and the railroad-influenced geography of the river canyon. This modern edition provides a clear view of the complex terrain, from Cascade Falls to the various named creeks that define the regional watershed.
