About this map

Salish Mountains terrain defines this high-altitude landscape where the Flathead National Forest and Kootenai National Forest meet. The map documents a complex system of administrative boundaries and drainage divides, most notably the Flathead-Kootenai Divide which separates the watersheds of the two national forests. The topography is anchored by prominent peaks including Ingalls Mtn, Mt Conner, and Sanders Mtn.

A dense network of forestry infrastructure, including Natl Forest Develop Road 2925 Rd and Griffin Creek Rd, provides access to the backcountry near Sylvia Lake. This 2020 edition provides a clear record of the modern logging and access roads that crisscross the Brush Creek Divide, reflecting the ongoing management of these public lands. Water features like Griffin Cr and Little Wolf Cr carve through the deep valleys between the timbered ridges.
