2017 Map of Volcour Gulch

About this map

Lake Koocanusa and the Kootenai River dominate this mountainous landscape within the Kootenai National Forest. This survey documents the complex topography of the Purcell Mountains and the Blackfoot Divide (Pinkham), where high peaks like Huckleberry Mtn and Ellsworth Mtn overlook deep drainage basins. The map illustrates a network of forest development roads, including the Warland Creek Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 4886 Rd, which provide access through the steep terrain and the namesake Volcour Gulch. Numerous water features, such as Tenmile Falls and Warland Cr, highlight the riparian patterns of the region. The map also delineates the Warland Ridge area, providing a precise record of the physical geography and infrastructure in this part of Lincoln County as it existed in the early 21st century.
