About this map

Flathead National Forest and Kootenai National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape of the Montana Rockies. The drainage of the Stillwater River dictates the local geography, flowing past the prominent Point of Rocks while receiving waters from Fitzsimmons Cr and Sunday Cr. This modern survey illustrates the balance between natural topography and forest management infrastructure, visible in the network of logging roads and trails that traverse the ridges.

Historical travel routes are preserved in labels like the Old Fort Steele Trl, which skirts the southern edges of the high peaks. Notable summits such as Stryker Peak and Herrig Mtn overlook numerous alpine water bodies, including Bull Lake, Fish Lake, and Herrig Lake. These features provide critical context for understanding the early 21st-century conservation boundaries and the enduring pathways through this corner of Montana.
