2020 Map of Red Mountain

About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape within the Purcell Mountains along the international border. The topography is defined by significant peaks including Marias Mtn, Clingback Mtn, and Red Mtn, which serve as the headwaters for several branching drainage systems. The map detail highlights an extensive network of forestry access roads, such as Nat Forest Develop Road 8000 Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 92 Rd, which facilitate movement through these steep basins. In the western portion of the quadrangle, Dodge Summit provides a key point of passage, accompanied by the Dodge Summit Trail. The drainage patterns are complex, with the Young Creek system flowing north while the various forks of Dodge Creek and Sullivan Creek carve deep valleys to the south and east, including the notable Simons Draw.
