2020 Map of Cyclone Lake

About this map

Glacier National Park and the Flathead National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape of the Whitefish Range. The eastern boundary is defined by the Flathead Wild and Scenic River, where the Home Ranch Bottoms area provides a rare point of level ground amidst steep drainages. The map reveals a complex network of forest management and fire observation infrastructure, centered on the Cyclone Lookout and high-elevation waters such as Cyclone Lake and Deadhorse Ridge Moose Lake. These remote basins feed a series of creeks including Coal Cr and Hay Cr. This 2020 survey documents the intersection of protected wilderness and active forest development, where Natl Forest Develop Road 909 Rd provides access to the ridgelines of Coal Ridge and Winona Ridge.
