About this map

Middle Fork Flathead River carves through the center of this landscape, serving as a primary corridor for travel and drainage within the Flathead National Forest. This 2014 survey documents a wilderness environment where human infrastructure is minimal and tied specifically to backcountry access. The settlement of Three Forks and the remote Schafer Meadows stand as rare points of activity, connected by specialized features like the Three Forks Pack Bridge and the Schafer USFS Airport.

High-elevation landmarks including Capitol Mtn, Lodgepole Mtn, and Wildrose Mtn define the topographical limits of the area. Numerous drainages such as Porter Cr, Bradley Cr, and Schafer Cr feed into the main river system from the surrounding ridges. The map captures the specialized management of this mountain terrain, preserving the names of remote peaks like Union Mtn and Soakem Mtn alongside the forestry-defined boundaries of t27n r13w and t26n r14w.
