2014 Map of Flint Mountain

About this map

The Lewis and Clark Range dominates this portion of the Montana wilderness, where the high-altitude drainage systems of the Lewis & Clark National Forest, Flathead National Forest, and Lolo National Forest converge. At the center of this hydrological nexus is Triple Divide, a point where disparate watersheds begin their descent toward different basins. The rugged topography is defined by significant summits including Trident Peaks, Flint Mtn, and Evans Peak, which overlook a network of alpine waterways. From the secluded waters of Sun Lake, the S Fork Sun River flows northward, while the Dry Fork N Fork Blackfoot River and Cabin Cr carve deep paths through the timbered slopes to the south and west. This 2014 survey documents a landscape preserved as primitive forest, largely devoid of roads and human structures, focusing instead on the natural elevation and water systems like Spring Cr and Rapid Cr.
