About this map

Lake Koocanusa dominates the western half of this Lincoln County landscape, a reservoir formed by the damming of the Kootenai River. The map captures the rugged mountain terrain of the Kootenai National Forest during the late twentieth century, showing a network of forest roads managed by the Rexford Fisher River Ranger District and Rexford Fortine Ranger District. To the east, high peaks such as Stenerson Mountain, Mineral Mountain, and Huckleberry Mountain define the horizon.

The settlement of Warland sits at the southern edge of the map, tucked between the reservoir and the rising slopes of Ant Hill. The area is carved by numerous drainages, including Volcour Gulch, Rocky Gulch, and the waters of Fivemile Creek. This survey reflects the complex management of public lands, delineating various ranger districts and the boundaries between the Fortine Ranger District and surrounding forest units.
