2020 Map of Heart Lake

About this map

The Lewis and Clark Range dominates this portion of the Montana Rockies, where three separate wilderness management areas converge. The Lolo National Forest, Lewis & Clark National Forest, and Helena National Forest meet in a complex landscape of high ridgelines and alpine basins. The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through the northeastern corner, tracing the spine of the continent. Below these heights, a network of historic backcountry routes like the Middle Fork Trail and Upper Landers Trail provide access to isolated water bodies including Heart Lake, Webb Lake, and Two-Point Lake. The hydrology is defined by the headwaters of the E Fork N Fork Blackfoot River and the Landers Fork, which carve deep drainage patterns between prominent landmarks such as Red Ridge and Pyramid Peak.
