2017 Map of Hewolf Mountain

About this map

Hewolf Mtn and Ch-paa-qn Peak dominate this landscape along the border of Sanders and Missoula Counties. The area is characterized by the complex drainage systems of the Lolo National Forest, where numerous branches of Valley Creek are defined by high-elevation forestry roads such as Valley Creek 5500 and Valley Creek 3000. The map documents a significant geographic transition at the Reservation Divide, a prominent ridge that separates the northern and southern watersheds of this Montana interior. A dense network of forest service routes, including Edith Peak Rd and the path toward Broken Circle Ranch Rd, illustrates the intersection of public land management and rural access. Waterways like Hewolf Creek, Stony Creek, and Sixmile Creek flow through the deep drainages that define the local topography.
