1966 Map of Sawtooth Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Kootenai National Forest and Kaniksu National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape of northwestern Montana, where the boundary between Lincoln and Sanders County cuts through the Cabinet Mountains. This mid-1960s survey, updated in the early 1980s, documents a wilderness defined by sharp peaks and a radial drainage system centered on the massive Ross Creek watershed. Significant landmarks like Sawtooth Mountain and Spar Peak rise above a network of drainages including North Fork Ross Creek, South Fork Ross Creek, and Pooch Creek. While primarily undeveloped, the map records a solitary Mine in the southwestern quadrant near Blue Creek, hinting at the region's mineral prospecting history. The lower elevations show the Ross Creek Campground and the striking Ross Creek Falls, accessible only by the primitive Pack Trail system that winds through the steep gulches.
