About this map

The Kootenai River carves a dramatic path through the heart of this high-elevation landscape, defining the corridor between the Three Rivers District and the Libby District. This 1997 revision shows the intersection of heavy timber management and protected backcountry, where the Kootenai National Forest transitions into the primitive Cabinet Mountains Wilderness. High peaks such as Scenery Mountain and Gramsbaur Mountain overlook a complex drainage system including Cedar Creek and Williams Creek.

Industrial activity is noted at a Gravel Pit near the river, while fire management is evidenced by a Lookout situated on the ridge near Scenery Mountain. The presence of the Lower Cedar Lake and Upper Cedar Lake in the southwestern corner highlights the glaciated high-country terrain. This map serves as a detailed record of the forest road network and topographic relief in Lincoln County during the late twentieth century.
