2011 Map of Dunsire Point

About this map

Dunsire Point and Mount Swaney anchor a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage basins and high ridges within the Flathead region. This 2011 survey details a rugged watershed where numerous named creeks, including Good Creek, Plume Creek, and Alder Creek, carve through the terrain. The map highlights a complex system of Forest Service access, such as Good Creek Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 113 Rd, which navigate the steep elevations between Elk Divide and Swaney Ridge. Historically significant geographic markers like the Bowen Bench and Dunsire Pass provide specific reference points for understanding the topographical navigation of this backcountry. The concentration of development roads versus the absence of established settlements underscores the area's role as managed forest and high-elevation watershed.
