1994 Map of Big Salmon Lake East

About this map

The South Fork Flathead River carves a deep path through the heart of the Bob Marshall Wilderness and Flathead National Forest in this mid-1990s survey. The landscape is defined by the steep drainage basins of numerous tributaries, including White River, Hammer Creek, and Scarface Creek, which feed into the main river corridor. Human presence is remarkably sparse, represented primarily by the Holbrook Cabin and National Forest Trail 112, emphasizing the area's role as a protected primitive environment. The topography rises sharply from the riverbanks to high points such as White River Butte, Scarface Peak, and Spire Mtn, with the northwestern corner featuring the eastern reach of Big Salmon Lake. This map captures a strictly regulated landscape where the Wild and Scenic River Boundary dictates the management of the watershed.
