2011 Map of Chief Mountain

About this map

Chief Mountain and Sherburne Peak dominate this landscape along the international border between the Canada United States of America boundary. The area is defined by a complex network of high-altitude drainages, including the various branches of Lee Creek, such as Middle Fork Lee Creek and East Fork Lee Creek, which flow northward toward the border. To the south, Otatso Creek carves through the terrain below Sandy Ridge, eventually leading toward the waters of Slide Lake. The map reveals a wilderness area largely devoid of major human infrastructure, with the primary features being the natural landmarks and watercourses like Jule Creek and Kennedy Creek. This 2011 survey captures the hydrological patterns of the northern Rockies at a time of continued environmental monitoring in Glacier County.
