About this map

Flathead National Forest defines the landscape of this high-elevation corner of Montana, where the boundary between Lake and Missoula counties runs through a dense concentration of alpine waters. The area is characterized by a series of significant lakes, including Hemlock Lake, Glacier Lake, and the distinctly shaped Island Lake, all situated among prominent peaks such as Red Butte and Hemlock Point.

Drainage systems like Windfall Cr and Elk Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic network that feeds into larger basins. Human infrastructure is limited, centered primarily on Elk Creek Rd, which provides access into this wilderness area. The placement of Notlimah Lake and Cheff Lake suggests a landscape shaped by glacial activity, offering a detailed view of the natural topography as it was documented in the early 21st century.
