2014 Map of Holland Peak

About this map

Holland Peak stands as the primary landmark in this high-altitude section of the Swan Range, straddling the boundary between Flathead and Missoula Counties. The area is entirely contained within the Flathead National Forest, defined by a network of drainage basins and peaks that feed the Big Salmon Creek and Rumble Creek systems. Dramatic relief is evident in features like Albino Basin and the steep slopes surrounding Cooney Mountain. This 2014 survey documents the hydrography of the region's glacial legacy, including Sappho Lake, Rumble Creek Lake, and the Terrace Lakes. Travel through this wilderness is dictated by natural gaps such as Smith Creek Pass. High points like Tango Point and Gyp Mountain provide structural definition to the watershed, where Big Salmon Falls marks a significant drop in the river's elevation.
