About this map

The high elevations of the Mission Range dominate this Lake County landscape, where the protected terrain of the Mission Mountains Wilderness and Flathead National Forest meet. This survey illustrates a complex alpine watershed, with drainage systems such as Skidoo Creek, Fatty Creek, and the North Fork Cedar Creek carving through steep ridges. The map highlights significant topographical landmarks including Moss Peak, Cedar Peak, and the distinctive Minesinger Ridge to the southwest.

Water bodies are scattered throughout these high basins, notably Rainbow Lake, Cedar Lake, and Piper Lake. Human presence is primarily indicated by recreational corridors like the Cedar Lake Trl and Piper Lake Trl, which provide access to Hellroaring Pass. The map also includes several numbered PB (Protraction Block) designations, such as PB 38 and PB 41, reflecting the specialized survey methods used for this untamed mountain territory.
