2017 Map of Scenery Mountain

About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this section of Lincoln County, defined by the winding course of the Kootenai River and the high ridges of the Purcell Mountains. Modern infrastructure and historical transit routes converge along the river valley, where Historic Highway 2 East follows the northern bank near Kootenai River Rd. The terrain is characterized by prominent peaks including Scenery Mtn and Norman Mtn, separated by deep drainages like Hunter Gulch. At higher elevations, Upper Cedar Lake and Lower Cedar Lake feed into Cedar Cr. The presence of several US Forest Service development roads and the 17 Mile/Quartz Snowmobile trail indicates the area's primary use for timber management and backcountry recreation during the early 21st century.
