1994 Map of Big Salmon Lake West

USGS Topo · Published 1997

About this map

Big Salmon Lake dominates this mid-1990s terrain, marking a boundary where the Flathead National Forest meets the Bob Marshall Wilderness. This area is characterized by significant topographic relief, anchored by summits such as Garnet Peak, Charlotte Peak, and Flame Peak. The landscape is intricately carved by numerous drainages, including Casey Creek, Holbrook Creek, and Charlotte Creek, all feeding toward the central waterway. Local human history is represented by the remote Pendant Cabin along the banks of Big Salmon Creek near the southern quadrangle edge. These labels reflect a wilderness area managed for preservation, where named points like Patrol Point and Gyp Mtn suggest a history of fire lookout or geological survey activity. The presence of Barrier Falls on Big Salmon Creek illustrates the natural obstacles inherent to this mountain drainage system.
