About this map

Holland Lake serves as a central hub for this high-altitude landscape in Missoula County, where the transition from recreation to wilderness is marked by the presence of Holland Lake Campground and the Owl Creek Packer Camp. The survey details a network of water bodies and dramatic peaks, including Upper Holland Lake and Ptarmigan Mountain, suggesting a terrain shaped by heavy glaciation and seasonal snowmelt.

Logistics and access for the era are visible through named routes like Summer Home Rd and the Clearwater Lake Loop. The map traces the drainage patterns of the Clearwater River and Owl Creek, highlighting how these waterways connect isolated features such as Sapphire Lake and Pendent Lake. For researchers, the labels indicate a mix of established forest service infrastructure and the more remote, high-mountain crossings like Gordon Pass.
