About this map

The North Fork Flathead River serves as the primary boundary line between Glacier National Park and the Flathead National Forest, creating a landscape defined by its protected status and wild waterways. This survey of the northwestern Montana wilderness reveals a network of high ridges and alpine meadows, such as Demers Ridge and Logging Ridge, alongside the riverside flats of Home Ranch Bottoms. The terrain is characterized by steep elevation changes, rising from the riverbanks to Glacier View Mtn and Winona Ridge.

Several smaller tributaries and lakes are documented throughout the drainage, including Logging Lake, Winona Lake, and Mud Lake. The transportation network is limited to rugged routes like N Fork Rd and Coal Creek Rd, emphasizing the isolation of features like The Coal Banks and Sullivan Meadow. This map provides a clear view of the interface between federal land management agencies in one of the most remote sections of the Rocky Mountains.
