1963 Map of Swede Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Kootenai River carves a deep path through the northern reaches of this mountain landscape, closely followed by the Burlington Northern railroad. Most of the terrain is managed by the Kootenai National Forest, defined by significant elevations like Swede Mountain and McMillan Mountain. The map illustrates a landscape of resource extraction and fire management, featuring a Lookout Tower on a high peak and a Gravel Pit near the southern boundary. A remote Landing Strip is positioned in a valley clearing near the Libby Creek drainage, serving as a critical infrastructure point in this heavily timbered region. Numerous drainage systems including McMillan Creek, Lowery Gulch, and Severn Gulch feed into the river, detailing the intricate watershed of the Lincoln County wilderness during the early 1960s.
