About this map

The boundary between the Flathead Indian Reservation and the Lolo National Forest bisects this remote Montana landscape, following the high drainage divide. High peaks dominate the topography, including the central summit of Hewolf Mountain and Squaw Peak to the southwest. The terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages, such as the North Fork Valley Creek and Hewolf Creek, which flow through deep canyons toward the larger Valley Creek system.

Transportation through this high-elevation backcountry is limited to primitive routes. A network of trails, including the Pack Trail and Sixmile Trail (Pack), provides access across the reservation line and through the forest. Evidence of local management is seen in the Edith Peak Road and the established county line between Sanders and Missoula counties, marking a wild landscape that remained largely undeveloped into the late 20th century.
