About this map

Kootenai National Forest blankets the steep topography of this 1963 survey, where the Kootenai River carves a deep valley through the mountains. This corridor serves as a vital transportation artery, containing both the Great Northern railroad line and a main roadway following the river's eastern bank. Higher elevations are marked by the Webb Mountain Lookout and the prominent summit of Scalp Mountain.

The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, including Pinkham Creek, Sutton Creek, and Gold Creek, which flow toward the river from the surrounding peaks. A Pack Trail winds through the southwestern section, indicating the more primitive access routes used before the modernization of forest roads. Significant geological and terrain features like Stone Hill and Cliff Point stand as landmarks in this heavily timbered region of northwest Montana.
