2014 Map of Seven Point Mountain

About this map

Noxon Reservoir dominates the southwestern corner of this landscape, marking the transition between the waterway and the steep ascent into the Cabinet Mountains. The settlement of Childs sits at the base of these slopes, where Blue Slide Rd and Kirby Creek Dr provide access to the surrounding timberlands. The territory is defined by the massive interface between the Kaniksu National Forest and Lolo National Forest, where high ridges like Seven Point Mtn and Cataract Peak look down upon drainages such as the Vermilion River. Genealogists and historians can trace numerous family-named gulches including Lyons Gulch, Kirby Gulch, and Cameron Gulch, which suggest a history of early land use and mineral exploration. The presence of remote water bodies like Grouse Lake and Bear Lake tucked behind high peaks highlights the isolation of this corner of Sanders County.
