About this map

Holland Peak and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of Missoula County dominate this 2011 survey, illustrating a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and complex drainage systems. The topography is shaped by prominent summits like Cooney Mountain and strategic mountain crossings such as Smith Creek Pass. Water is a defining element of this region, with the Big Salmon Creek and Little Salmon Creek systems carving through the mountain passes, eventually leading to landmarks like Big Salmon Falls in the southeast corner.

Several glacial features are documented, including the Albino Basin and alpine water bodies like Sappho Lake, Rumble Creek Lake, and the staggered Terrace Lakes. The map traces the intricate headwaters of numerous named streams, including Tango Creek, Cataract Creek, and Smoky Creek, which descend from the ridges marked by Tango Point. This map provides a technical view of a pristine wilderness area as it appeared in the early 21st century, prior to modern environmental shifts.
