2024 Map of Wolf Prairie

About this map

Wolf Prairie sits at the heart of this landscape, surrounded by the dense timber and complex drainages of the Kootenai National Forest. The map documents a network of water systems including West Dry Fork Creek, Little Wolf Creek, and the isolated Betts Lake, all sheltered beneath the rising peaks of the Cabinet Mountains and Sugarloaf Mtn. A significant historical remnant is visible in the southern portion of the quadrangle where the Old Railroad Grade Rd follows the contours of the terrain near Kavalla Creek. This former rail line, alongside modern routes like Natl Forest Develop Road 36 Rd, highlights the long-term relationship between industrial access and these remote Montana highlands. Elevations vary from the prominent Redemption Hill to the curiously named Surprise Hill on the eastern boundary.
