2017 Map of Smith Mountain

About this map

Cabinet Mountains peaks dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Bonner County, Idaho, and Lincoln County, Montana. The terrain is defined by steep ridges and glacial basins, including the namesake Smith Mountain and the waters of Smith Lake. This 2017 survey details the complex drainage systems that feed into the Clark Fork watershed, primarily through North Callahan Creek and South Callahan Creek. The map provides a look at the overlapping management of the Kootenai National Forest and Kaniksu National Forest. These protected lands are traversed by several vital access points such as National Forest Development Road 427 and the South Fork Callahan Creek Road, which serve as the primary conduits for backcountry navigation and resource management in this remote section of the American Northwest.
