About this map

The Swan Range dominates this portion of the Flathead National Forest, where a sequence of high peaks and alpine basins defines the watershed of the Hungry Horse Reservoir. The map details a complex network of ridgelines, including Big Hawk Mtn, Tom Tom Mtn, and Mt Orvis Evans. These summits overlook a series of high-elevation water bodies such as Big Hawk Lake, Margaret Lake, and the Three Eagles Lakes.

Drainage patterns are clearly established by numerous creeks, including Wheeler Cr, Quintonkon Cr, and Jones Cr, which flow toward the reservoir. The presence of W Side Rd along the reservoir's edge represents the primary corridor through this wilderness area. The boundary between Lake and Flathead counties cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle, passing through Schmidt Cr and near the base of the mountain range.
