About this map

Lake Koocanusa dominates the western landscape of this Lincoln County region, where the reservoir's shoreline meets the steep rises of the Kootenai National Forest. The terrain is defined by significant elevations such as Ellsworth Mountain in the north and Stenerson Mountain toward the center, creating a vertical landscape carved by numerous watercourses. Dramatic drops are noted at Tenmile Falls, while Volcour Gulch and Rocky Gulch provide drainage into the lake from the eastern slopes.

A network of forest service roads, including the Natl Forest Develop Road 566 Rd and Warland Creek Rd, provides the primary access through these timbered uplands. The drainage patterns of Fivemile Creek and Warland Creek in the south illustrate the complex topography that surrounds Ant Hill and Mineral Mountain, marking a wilderness area primarily managed for its natural resources and watershed value.
