2014 Map of Scenery Mountain

About this map

The Kootenai River carves a deep valley through the northern Purcell Mountains, serving as the central corridor for this part of the Kootenai National Forest. In this 2014 survey, the primary transport artery follows the northern bank along the Kootenai River Rd, while the surrounding terrain is defined by prominent peaks including Scenery Mtn, Flagstaff Mtn, and Grambauer Mtn. The hydrology of the area is particularly complex, with numerous drainages like Quartz Cr and Cedar Cr feeding into the main river channel. High-altitude water bodies such as Lower Cedar Lake and Upper Cedar Lake sit tucked below the ridges, providing a detailed look at the montane watershed system. This map illustrates the intersection of industrial forest management and the preservation of the landscape, marked by various land tracts such as PB 44 and PB 46.
