2024 Map of Volcour Gulch

About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this section of Lincoln County, defined by the winding eastern shoreline of Lake Koocanusa. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent peaks and ridges, including Ellsworth Mtn and Stenerson Mtn, which overlook the deep drainages of Volcour Gulch and Rocky Gulch. This modern survey reveals a landscape heavily interlaced with forest service infrastructure, where routes like Natl Forest Develop Road 4886 Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 566 Rd provide access to the high elevations of Warland Ridge. The presence of the Blackfoot Divide (Pinkham) Trail and Tenmile Trl suggests a network of traditional paths repurposed for contemporary navigation through the Purcell Mountains, while the naming of small features like Ant Hill and Swamp Creek highlights the granular detail of this montane environment.
