1994 Map of Cedar Lake

About this map

The Mission Range forms a dramatic topographic spine in this 1990s revision, marking the high-elevation divide between various land management jurisdictions. On the western slopes, the Flathead Indian Reservation encompasses high peaks like Moss Peak and includes the Mission Mountains Tribal Wilderness. To the east, the Flathead National Forest and the Swan River State Forest dominate the landscape, characterized by complex drainages such as South Woodward Creek and Fatty Creek. Significant alpine water bodies, including Cedar Lake, Rainbow Lake, and Piper Lake, are tucked into the high glacial cirques of the Mission Mountains Wilderness. The map reveals the intricate network of creek systems—such as Hellroaring Creek and Bisson Creek—that define the western watershed of the reservation.
