2011 Map of Gleason Mountain

About this map

Gleason Mountain anchors a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainages in Bonner County. The terrain is bisected by the Upper West Branch Priest River, which collects water from numerous named tributaries including Kalispell Creek, Lamb Creek, and Binarch Creek. Evidence of resource extraction is found at the Last Chance Mine, situated in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map highlights significant elevation features and pass points like Pyramid Pass and Grouse Knob, alongside natural landmarks such as Kalispell Falls and the deep incision of Bath Creek Gorge. This 2011 survey reveals a territory mostly accessed by forest service roads and established routes like Squaw Valley Rd and Lamb Creek Rd, documenting the contemporary state of this Idaho backcountry.
