About this map

The Kootenai River carves a deep valley through the Purcell Mountains at the northern edge of the Kootenai National Forest, creating a narrow corridor for commerce and travel. The city of Troy is the focal point of the region, situated where the river makes a sharp bend near Scott Island. A network of local roads like Yaak Ave, W Mill Rd, and River Rd reveals the town's orientation toward the water and the nearby Troy Bridge.

The surrounding peaks, including Preacher Mtn, McConnell Mtn, and Goat Mtn, tower over the drainage basins of Callahan Cr and Iron Cr. Traces of the area's heritage are preserved along the Callahan Historic Trail and the Troy Cem, while modern access is provided by the Troy Airport. The transition from the riverfront to the high ridges of Copper Mtn illustrates the steep verticality that has long defined life and movement in Lincoln County.
