About this map

Flathead National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where the terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and the drainages that flow from them. The central feature, Cathedral Peak, rises as a focal point among other named summits such as Mid Mtn and Minaret Peak. This region lacks roads or permanent settlements, reflecting a primitive wilderness character maintained into the early 21st century.

Water systems like Silvertip Cr and Harrison Cr carve through the deep valleys, while Black Bear Mtn and Silvertip Mtn anchor the southern and eastern reaches of the quadrangle. The map documents the intricate drainage patterns of smaller tributaries, including Lost Jack Cr and Corporal Cr, which illustrate the complex watershed of the northern Rockies. This survey is a precise record of the natural topography and official forest boundaries within t24n r13w and surrounding townships.
