2014 Map of Richards Mountain

About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this section of Lincoln County, defined by a complex drainage system feeding into the larger valley. High points such as Dunn Peak and Richards Mtn provide the primary vertical relief, while the lower elevations are carved by numerous watercourses including Wyoma Cr, Alder Cr, and Dunn Cr. This 2014 survey illustrates the intricate network of forest management routes, most notably Natl Forest Develop Road 97 Rd and the more established Wolf Creek Rd near the southern boundary. To the southwest, Mt Sterling overlooks Sterling Gulch, highlighting the local naming conventions that tie specific peaks to their adjacent drainages. The map serves as a detailed record of high-country geography in the early 21st century, showing how modern forestry access interlaces with the natural flow of Wolf Cr and Backus Cr.
