2020 Map of Yaak

About this map

The settlement of Yaak sits at a critical junction of mountain roads and watercourses in the northern reaches of the Kootenai National Forest. Located where the Yaak River meets the S Fork Yaak River, this area is defined by the high elevations of the Purcell Mountains and prominent peaks like Roderick Butte. The landscape is a network of forest development roads, such as Pipe Creek Rd and Yaak River Rd, which trace the valleys carved by Beaver Cr and Lang Cr. Significant water features like Vinal Lake and Obermayer Lake dot the higher terrain, while specialized routes like the Fowler Snowmobile (Snow) trail indicate the seasonal utility of this timber and recreation land. The surveying of large tract parcels, marked as various PB blocks, underscores the complex land management within this corner of Lincoln County.
