1963 Map of Warland Peak

About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, centered on the high point of Warland Peak. A lookout tower sits atop the peak, overlooking a network of drainages including Cripple Horse Creek and Warland Creek. The map documents a landscape of steep timber and high ridgelines, where the primary infrastructure consists of a extensive system of a pack trail and various trails connecting remote water sources like Summit Spring. Toward the east, the terrain rises again toward Weigel Mountain and Wolf Point. This area reflects the mid-century management of the National Forest system, emphasizing fire observation and backcountry access through the rugged Lincoln County interior before more intensive modern development.
