1963 Map of Robinson Mountain

About this map

Robinson Mountain stands as the central peak of this high-elevation landscape within the Kootenai National Forest, where the topography is defined by the sharp drainage basins of the Yaak River and its numerous tributaries. Just south of the international border with Canada, the area is characterized by alpine lakes such as Gold Lake, Lake Geneva, and Plumb Bob Lake tucked into glacial cirques. The 1963 field check reveals a terrain accessible primarily by a network of Pack Trails, with a specialized Lookout Sta positioned on the summit of Robinson Mountain for fire surveillance. The intricate drainage network, including Sink Creek and Caribou Creek, underscores the remote wilderness character of this portion of Lincoln County before modern road development penetrated the deeper reaches of the forest.
