About this map

Mission Range peaks and high-elevation alpine basins define this western Montana landscape within the Flathead National Forest. Significant vertical relief is anchored by summits such as Moss Peak and Cedar Peak, with the notable Hellroaring Pass providing a natural corridor through the ridgeline. The drainage patterns are complex, with the N Fork Cedar Cr and S Fork Cedar Cr feeding into the namesake Cedar Lake.

Remote water bodies like Fatty Lake, Rainbow Lake, and Piper Lake are isolated in the higher elevations, many accessible only via rugged terrain or the forest service routes. To the southwest, Minesinger Ridge overlooks the various branches of Big Cr, while the northern section of the map is dominated by the headwaters of Skidoo Cr and S Woodward Cr. This 2014 survey documents the wilderness character and hydrological network of Lake County before more recent environmental shifts.
