2017 Map of Cilly Creek

About this map

The Swan River flows through this portion of Flathead National Forest, defining a landscape of high-altitude drainages and timbered slopes. The map documents a sophisticated network of forest management routes, including Lower Porcupine Rd and the Natl Forest Develop Road 680 Rd, which provide access to the remote interior. Several distinct openings in the forest canopy are identified as meadowlands, such as State Meadows, Graves Meadows, and Foothill Meadows. These features suggest a history of seasonal grazing or natural clearings within the dense forest.
