2011 Map of Flint Mountain

About this map

Triple Divide and Flint Mountain anchor this high-elevation landscape in Lewis and Clark County, where complex drainage patterns define the wilderness. The Continental Divide influences the flow of numerous watercourses, with the headwaters of the South Fork Sun River and the Dry Fork North Fork Blackfoot River moving toward different basins. This 2011 survey documents a preserved alpine environment devoid of modern settlements, dominated instead by prominent landmarks like Trident Peaks and Observation Point. A small alpine body of water, Sun Lake, is situated in the northeastern portion of the quadrangle. Significant drainages including Spring Creek, Bar Creek, and Cabin Creek carve through the terrain, highlighting the region's importance as a primary watershed for the surrounding Montana territories.
