About this map

Flathead National Forest land defines this corner of the Rockies, where the Hungry Horse Reservoir reaches its southern stretches. The map documents a rugged landscape punctuated by high summits such as Mount Adams and Mount Cameahwait, with the eastern portion falling within the protected Great Bear Wilderness.

Administrative and industrial history is marked by the Betty Creek Work Center along the shoreline and the Felix Mine located near Felix Basin. A complex network of pack routes, including the Murray Canyon Trail and Harris Ridge Trail, provides the primary means of navigating the drainages of Felix Creek and Paint Creek. The geography here transitions from the low-lying waters of the South Fork Flathead River to the high alpine environments of Mount Baptiste and Silver Basin.
