2020 Map of Crater Lake

About this map

Swan Lake and the Swan River anchor this 2020 landscape where the Flathead Valley meets the rising terrain of the Swan Range. The settlement of Bear Creek Village serves as a local hub near the Ferndale Airfield, reflecting a modern mix of residential development and agricultural use. Within the Flathead National Forest, the topography becomes increasingly complex, marked by prominent features like Crater Mtn and Broken Leg Mtn. A network of back-country paths and fire roads, including the Echo-Broken Leg and the Wild Swan Trl, weave through the elevations of the Broken Leg Divide. This survey captures the transition from the low-lying wetlands of Loon Lake and Mud Lake to the high alpine waters of Crater Lake, illustrating the drainage patterns of Wolf Cr and Peterson Cr.
