2020 Map of Wood Lake

About this map

Lewis & Clark National Forest encompasses the high-altitude terrain of this quadrangle, where the Lewis and Clark Range creates a formidable vertical landscape. The high-country character is defined by peaks like Fairview Mtn and Crown Mtn, separated by the Elbow Pass and the distinctive Wood Creek Hogback. Remote access to this wilderness area is anchored by the Benchmark Airport near Wood Canyon, while the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through the southern reaches of the map near Bunyan Point. Hydrological patterns are dominated by numerous drainages, including Wood Cr and the waters of Wood Lake. The presence of the Patrol Mtn L O on the western edge of the sheet reflects the ongoing forest management and fire observation infrastructure essential to this heavily timbered region.
