About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this section of Lincoln County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of forest development roads and mountain drainages. The settlement of Wolf Prairie serves as a central point in a topography marked by Sugarloaf Mtn to the northwest and the prominent Redemption Hill further south. The hydrography of the region is complex, featuring Bett's Lake and a series of creeks including Wolf Cr, Little Wolf Cr, and Syrup Cr.

Tracing the historical infrastructure of the area reveals the Old Railroad Grade Rd, which follows the contours of the valley floor near Kuvalla Cr. This corridor, along with numerous numbered National Forest Development Roads like Natl Forest Develop Road 36 Rd, indicates the long-standing importance of timber management and mountain access in this part of Montana. The map provides a clear view of the Public Land Survey System township and range divisions, specifically where t30n r27w and surrounding blocks meet.
