About this map

The Hungry Horse Dam stands as a massive engineering focal point on this mid-1990s survey, holding back the turquoise waters of the Hungry Horse Reservoir. This infrastructure-heavy corner of the Flathead National Forest includes the Hungry Horse Dam Visitor Ctr, a Powerhouse, and a nearby Substation, illustrating the complex management of the South Fork Flathead River. Beyond the industrial activity at the dam, the landscape transitions into high-elevation wilderness defined by the steep slopes of Columbia Mountain and Doris Mountain.

A network of mountain drainage systems, including Doris Creek and Aurora Creek, feeds into the reservoir and the river. The northeastern corner contains the Coram Experimental Forest, while high alpine features like Doris Lakes and Jenny Lake dot the interior ridges. Historical land management is evident in the inclusion of the Gaging Sta at Devils Elbow, showing the long-term monitoring of these vital Montana waterways.
