About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this section of the Purcell Mountains north of Libby, Montana. The map documents a high-elevation landscape defined by prominent peaks like Turner Mtn and Loon Peak, where the terrain drops sharply toward alpine waters such as Loon Lake and La Foe Lake. The drainage network is clearly articulated, showing the headwaters of Seventeenmile Creek and the long course of Quartz Creek as it flows south through the mountains.

Remote recreational access is a defining characteristic of this area in the early 21st century. The map tracks numerous specialized routes, including the Skyline National Recreation Trail and winter-specific paths like the 17 Mile/Quartz Snowmobile Trl. From the heights of Quartz Mtn to the secluded China Lake, the sheet preserves the footprint of Forest Service infrastructure, including a web of National Forest Development Roads that link these peaks to the surrounding valley floor.
