About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the international border, where the Canada United States boundary meets the intersection of British Columbia Montana. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and drainage systems, including Red Mountain and Clingback Mountain. Significant watercourses such as the East Fork Yaak River and Young Creek carve through the topography, joined by various tributaries like the Middle Fork and North Fork.

Evidence of historical backcountry access is preserved through the South Fork Pack Trail, which follows the South Fork drainage south of Dodge Summit. The map details the complex geography of the Kootenay District and Lincoln County, illustrating the remote drainage patterns of Dodge Creek and Simons Creek as they appeared in the early 1960s, with later updates showing changes to the forest's woodland cover.
