2017 Map of Treasure Mountain

About this map

Kootenai National Forest and Kaniksu National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape of the Montana Cabinet Mountains. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably at the Hanging Valley and along the Cabinet Divide North, where the drainage of Flower Creek and Granite Creek begins. A high concentration of alpine lakes, including Klatawa Lake, Lake Osakis, and Crater Lake, are pocketed among prominent peaks such as Treasure Mtn and Indian Head. The map detail shows the winding Flower Lake Rd leading toward the Flower Lake Lookout, illustrating the infrastructure required for forest management and fire observation in this steep environment. Further south, the boundary between Lincoln Co and Sanders Co follows the natural crest of Vimy Ridge, marking the transition between watersheds.
