About this map

Scotchman Peak serves as a prominent high point in this remote section of the Cabinet Mountains at the border of Idaho and Montana. The landscape is defined by the intersection of the Kanisku National Forest and Kootenai National Forest, where steep ridgelines connect summits like Scotchman Number Two and Blacktop Mtn. The drainages are equally significant, with Lightning Creek and W Fork Blue Cr carving deep paths through the forest.

Researching this area reveals a network of high-elevation peaks such as Goat Mtn and Savage Mtn, as well as tucked-away water features like Little Spar Lake. The map details the boundary between Bonner and Lincoln counties, illustrating the jurisdictional divisions within these protected lands. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the wilderness character, including Webb Canyon and the headwaters of Savage Cr, as they appeared in the early twenty-first century.
