2024 Map of Sawtooth Mountain

About this map

The Cabinet Mountains define this high-altitude landscape where the Lincoln Co Sanders Co line traverses the peaks. This wilderness terrain, shared by the Kootenai National Forest and Kaniksu National Forest, is characterized by sharp relief and a network of technical drainage systems. Notable peaks such as Spar Peak, Mt Vernon, and Sawtooth Mtn rise above the complex hydrography of Ross Creek and its various forks. The map reveals a remote backcountry accessible only by established routes like the Ross Creek Trl and the West Fork Dry Creek Trl. Of particular interest to those studying the geological features of the area are the Bad Medicine Spires and Ross Point, which stand as significant landmarks within the extensive Kaniksu National Forest boundaries.
