About this map

Crimson Lake lies at the heart of this high-elevation wilderness within the Flathead National Forest and Lolo National Forest. The landscape is defined by its steep drainage systems, where Youngs Cr and Babcock Cr carve through mountainous terrain. Prominent summits such as Crimson Peak, Goat Mtn, and Puma Peak dominate the topography, illustrating the complex geography of the Montana-Powell Co. region.

Evidence of the mountain environment's activity is captured in features like the Big Slide near the confluence of several unnamed tributaries. The map details the transition between these two National Forests, with the boundary running near Youngs Mtn. Localized landmarks such as Leota Park and Railley Mtn offer reference points for those tracking historical trails or backcountry survey lines in this undeveloped portion of the Rockies.
