About this map

Kootenai National Forest and Kaniksu National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape within the Cabinet Mountains. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and ridgelines, including Indian Head, Treasure Mtn, and Gus Brink Mtn, which separate high glacial basins. A complex network of alpine lakes and drainage systems characterizes the area, with Klatawa Lake and Granite Lake situated at the headwaters of deep-cut drainages like Granite Creek and the W Fork Granite Cr.

Transport and access are primarily limited to forest routes like Flower Lake Rd and the Parmenter Tie, reflecting the wilderness character of the region. Distinctive topographical features such as the Hanging Valley and the steep Vimy Ridge provide insight into the geological forces that shaped this portion of the northern Rockies. Notable high points like Dome Mtn and Parmenter Mtn overlook the numerous forks of Parmenter Cr and Flower Cr, tracing the watershed boundaries between Lincoln and Sanders counties.
