About this map

Dickey Lake sits at the center of this mountain landscape, which serves as a vital corridor for both heavy transport and timber management. The Burlington Northern railroad winds through the valley, connecting the small settlements of Stryker and Trego. This area, heavily defined by the Kootenai National Forest and Stillwater State Forest, shows the infrastructure of 20th-century forest service operations, anchored by the Murphy Lake Ranger Sta and several developed campgrounds.

The terrain is marked by a dense network of drainages including Laughing Water Creek and Stillwater River. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is present through features like the Gravel Pit and Substa, while recreation is centered around water bodies like Murphy Lake and Rattlebone Lake. The boundary between Lincoln Co and Flathead Co cuts across the southern portion of the sheet, dividing these high-country ridges and creek basins.
