Northwest Quadrant of Kootenai NF Plan

MAP LEGEND

This view includes Troy, Libby and the Yaak.

This area has several wildland (grey) and backcountry (cream and beige) areas, many of which were formed from lands formerly managed as moderate and light intensity general forest.  There is a new all season motorized corridor between Troy and Libby just south of HWY 93 for motorized recreationists to use. 

The brown/grey or beige areas are backcountry areas where snowmobiles are allowed but summer motorized is not.  

 The 1987 plan recommended wilderness (dark purple) all around the Cabinets and in the Scotchmen's Peak area (SW).  Congress has not acted and may never act on these recommendations.  These recommendations have been replaced by wildland and non-motorized backcountry.  The Cabinet wilderness itself is displayed in light purple and is the only congressionally designated wilderness on the Kootenai.
