Roughly 60 miles south of Canada, the 88,000 acre Scotchman Peaks roadless area spans the Idaho-Montana border. Since the 1970s, when the U.S. Forest Service carried out extensive evaluations of lands suitable for wilderness, this rugged, scenic and biologically diverse portion of the Cabinet Mountains has been managed for its wilderness potential. The Friends of Scotchman Peaks Wilderness believe now is the time to preserve the Scotchmans, one of the last, and largest, wild areas in our region.

The Friends of Scotchman Peaks wish to thank the Idaho Conservation League for their help and support in producing these new high-quality maps.

Many thanks to our good friend Sylvie at TerraPen GeoGraphics for producing these maps!

A note from Sylvie on scale:  the map is at the native scale of the Forest Service map (1: 126720, or 2 miles to the inch).  When you print out the PDF there is an option under “Page scaling” to set it to NONE (retains the native scale) or “set to printer margins”.  On my printer the map cuts off slightly if set to NONE, so you may need to watch out for that as well and fit to your printers margins.
