1997 Map of Red Mountain

About this map

The Canada United States border defines the northern edge of this Montana landscape, where the Kootenai National Forest spans across the international boundary into the Kootenay District of British Columbia. This remote high-elevation terrain is shaped by the complex drainage systems of the Yaak River and Young Creek, with numerous forks cutting through the mountainsides. High points like Red Mountain and Marias Mountain anchor the topography, while Dodge Summit provides a critical pass between the watersheds of North Fork Dodge Creek and the South Fork Young Creek. The map illustrates a network of Forest Service roads and trails that navigate the steep slopes and draws, including Simons Draw and the upper reaches of Sullivan Creek, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure of the National Forest system in the late twentieth century.
