About this map

The Swan Range dominates this portion of the Flathead National Forest, where the terrain rises sharply from the Flathead Valley toward several prominent peaks. Columbia Mtn and Blaine Mtn anchor the western ridges, overlooking a complex drainage system that feeds into the South Fork Flathead River. This modern survey reveals a landscape defined by its alpine hydrology, featuring high-elevation water bodies like Doris Lakes and Jenny Lake alongside the more accessible Lion Lake near the river's edge.

Transportation through these heights relies on a network of established paths and forestry routes, including the Doris Ridge Trl and Doris Creek Rd. The presence of the Otila Basin and the winding Alpha Creek illustrate the natural catchments that have shaped the area's geography. Researchers can trace the intersection of historical land partitions with modern resource management across the Doris Mtn landscape.
