2020 Map of Turner Mountain

About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in the Purcell Mountains, where a complex network of forest roads and snowmobile trails provides access to numerous summits. Peak-baggers and winter recreationists can trace the 17 Mile/Quartz Snowmobile trail as it winds through the drainage of Seventeenmile Cr and past high-elevation water bodies like Loon Lake. The terrain is punctuated by significant landmarks such as Turner Mountain, Quartz Mountain, and the southern heights of China Mtn near the China Rim/Flagstaff. This cartography highlights the vital role of the Forest Service in managing these lands, indicated by the extensive system of named roads like Natl Forest Develop Road 4712 Rd and specialized routes like the Skyline Nrt (Skyline Ridge).
