About this map

The high elevations of the Mission Range dominate this landscape within the Flathead National Forest. This 2020 survey documents a rugged backcountry environment defined by significant peaks and alpine water bodies. Notable summits such as Moss Peak, Cedar Peak, and the long reach of Minesinger Ridge provide the primary structural points for the terrain. Between these heights, a network of mountain lakes and their drainage basins are recorded, including Cedar Lake, Rainbow Lake, and Fatty Lake.

Drainage patterns here are complex, with headwaters like Hell Roaring Cr and Skidoo Cr cutting through the steep topography. Significant passage points such as Hellroaring Pass offer a glimpse into the natural travel corridors used within these protected federal lands. The map serves as a contemporary record of the hydrography and elevation markers in this portion of Lake County, capturing the wilderness character of the region before any further natural or man-made shifts occur.
