About this map

The Cabinet Mountains dominate this 1997 topographic study, showcasing a high-altitude landscape defined by dramatic ridges and glacial lakes. Centered on the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness, the map reveals a complex network of peaks including Treasure Mountain, Sugarloaf Mountain, and Mount Snowy. This area, managed by the Kootenai National Forest, reflects a history of high-country exploration and resource assessment, evidenced by scattered Mines and Prospects on the eastern slopes near Shaughnessy Creek.

Alpine hydrology is a central feature, with Hanging Valley feeding into Sky Lakes and Lake Osakis at the headwaters of Flower Creek. The terrain's utility is further marked by a Communication Site at Indian Head, while the southern reaches cross the Lincoln Co Sanders Co line. This survey captures the wilderness in the late 1990s, recording the intricate trails and drainages of the Libby Ranger District before modern landscape shifts.
