About this map

The Swan Range dominates this portion of the Flathead National Forest, where the complex drainage systems of the South Fork Flathead River define the landscape. This 2014 survey captures the high-elevation topography surrounding the western shore of the Hungry Horse Reservoir, including the prominent summits of Doris Mtn, Blaine Mtn, and Columbia Mtn. The map reveals the intricate network of glacial lakes and mountain streams, such as Lion Lake, Jenny Lake, and Alpha Lake, which feed into the larger reservoir system.

Evidence of recreational access and forest management is visible via the W Side Rd and Blaine Mountain Rd, providing a detailed look at the geographic transition from the Flathead Valley to the steep ridges of Doris Ridge. The inclusion of the Otila Basin and numerous creek systems like Handkerchief Cr and Doris Cr illustrates the hydrological importance of this wilderness area for Montana's water resources.
