About this map

Flathead National Forest and Kootenai National Forest converge in this high-altitude 2017 survey, where the boundary between Lincoln Co and Flathead Co runs along the western edge of the quadrangle. The terrain is defined by the Salish Mountains, featuring prominent peaks such as Mt Swaney and Fox Mtn. The landscape is a network of ridges and drainage basins, with Elk Divide and Dunsire Pass providing critical crossings through the steep topography.

A complex system of forestry infrastructure is visible, including Alder Creek Rd and Good Creek Rd, which follow the primary watercourses of Alder Cr and Good Cr. These roads, along with numerous numbered National Forest Development Roads, illustrate the ongoing management and accessibility of this timber-rich region. Geologic and geographic landmarks like Dunsire Point and the Bowen Bench stand out as distinctive landforms amidst the heavily forested slopes.
