2017 Map of Circus Peak

About this map

Flathead National Forest land dominates this high-elevation landscape within the Flathead Range. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks, including Circus Peak, Dry Park Mtn, and Prospector Mtn, which overlook a complex network of drainage basins. To the southwest, the waters of Hungry Horse Reservoir reach into the valleys, framed by the restrictive access of W Side Rd and E Side Rd. Numerous creeks such as Bergsicker Cr and Baptiste Cr flow from the summits toward the reservoir, illustrating the typical alpine hydrology of the region. The map highlights the intersection of protected wilderness and the engineering of the reservoir, providing a detailed record of the forest's topographic character and watershed patterns in the early twenty-first century.
