1994 Map of Big Hawk Mountain

About this map

Jewel Basin Hiking Area and the high peaks of the northern Swan Range dominate this 1990s wilderness survey, where dramatic alpine terrain meets the southern reaches of the Hungry Horse Reservoir. The map documents a high-elevation landscape defined by glacial cirques and named summits, including Three Eagles Mountain, Big Hawk Mountain, and Mount Orvis Evans. A network of creeks, such as Wheeler Creek and Quintonkon Creek, drains the steep slopes of the Flathead National Forest, feeding into the reservoir at Graves Bay. This edition reflects a period of established forest management and recreational access, shown through the system of Forest Service roads like the Hungry Spotted Bear Rd and the Swan Hungry Horse Rd that navigate the ridges and valleys between Lake and Flathead counties.
