2020 Map of Flint Mountain

About this map

Flint Mtn and the Trident Peaks define this high-altitude landscape where three major national forests meet. This 2020 survey documents a complex hydrological divide within the Lewis and Clark Range, where headwaters for different drainage systems originate. Water flows from high points like Triple Divide and Observation Point into diverse basins, including the S Fork Sun River to the northeast and the Dry Fork N Fork Blackfoot River to the southwest. The map captures the administrative intersection of the Flathead National Forest, Lewis & Clark National Forest, and Lolo National Forest. This remote backcountry area is characterized by high peaks such as Evans Peak and small alpine water bodies like Sun Lake, offering a detailed view of the Montana wilderness before significant human settlement or infrastructure development.
