1997 Map of Seven Point Mountain

About this map

Noxon Reservoir and the Clark Fork define the southwestern corner of this mountain landscape, which shows the intersection of the Kaniksu National Forest and Lolo National Forest in late-twentieth-century Sanders County. The terrain is marked by high summits like Seven Point Mountain and Cataract Peak, with many deep drainages such as Miners Gulch, Cameron Gulch, and Grimes Gulch feeding into the larger river systems. Small settlements like Childs and Pinecone sit near the water's edge, while the rugged interior is accessible only by established routes like the Water Hill Trail 345 and the Grouse Mountain Trail. This survey captures a moment when the Cabinet Falls Ranger District managed these vast tracts of timber and high-altitude basins, including isolated water bodies like Marmot Lakes and Bear Lake.
