2020 Map of Hash Mountain

About this map

Lake Blaine and the western slopes of the Swan Range define this portion of Flathead County, where the valley floor meets the high timber of the Flathead National Forest. The transition from agricultural land to montane wilderness is marked by the Creston National Fish Hatchery and the small community of Creston. Local history is anchored by the Creston Cem and the former industrial site at Jessup Mill Pond, reflecting the area's early 20th-century reliance on timber and water resources. Higher elevations toward Hash Mtn and Peters Ridge are dotted with numerous small alpine bodies of water including Lamoose Lake and Grayling Lake Number Two. The dense network of forest roads and trails, such as Madera Trl and Lake Blaine Rd, illustrates the modern landscape's focus on conservation and recreation within the national forest boundaries.
