About this map

Flathead National Forest encompasses the high-altitude terrain of the Salish Mountains in this 2014 survey. The landscape is defined by the prominent Ashley Mtn and the nearby Ashley Divide, which separate several significant drainage basins. Water is a central feature of the topography, from the secluded waters of Lupine Lake in the southwest to the intricate networks of Griffin Cr, Logan Cr, and Cyclone Cr.

Star Meadow offers a rare break in the timbered slopes of the northern section, accessible via a network of forest roads including Star Meadow Rd and Griffin Creek Rd. The presence of numerous National Forest Development Roads, such as Natl Forest Develop Road 5331 Rd, underscores the importance of timber management and recreation in this part of Montana. The map provides clear evidence of the area's watershed geography, with numerous creeks like Taylor Creek and Oettiker Cr feeding into the larger river systems.
