Ojibway Peak is a 7,303-foot-elevation (2,226-meter) mountain summit located on the border shared by Lincoln and Sanders counties in Montana.

Description

Ojibway Peak is located 22 miles (35 km) south of Libby, Montana, in the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness, on land managed by Kaniksu National Forest and Kootenai National Forest. ^[2] It is set west of the Continental Divide in the Cabinet Mountains which are a subrange of the Rocky Mountains. ^[1] Precipitation runoff from the mountain's east slope drains into Libby Creek which is a tributary of the Kootenai River, whereas the west slope drains into Rock Creek which is a tributary of the Clark Fork River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over 3,300 feet (1,000 m) above Rock Creek in one mile (1.6 km) and 2,345 feet (715 m) above Rock Lake in 0.6 mile (1 km). The mountain's toponym was officially adopted in 1923 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names and the name is a Native American word. ^{[3] [4]}
