About this map

The high alpine crest of the Swan Range serves as a natural divide within this section of the Flathead National Forest. Dominated by the soaring heights of Holland Peak and Cooney Mountain, the landscape transitions from the jagged ridgelines of the Bob Marshall Wilderness into deep glacial basins. The drainage network is particularly dense here, with Little Salmon Creek and Gordon Creek carving through the northern sections while Cataract Creek and South Fork feed the complex aquatic system to the south.

Evidence of historical access is centered on the Spotted Bear Lake Rd, which winds through the mountain passes near Smith Creek Pass. High-altitude water bodies such as Sappho Lake and the Terrace Lakes characterize the internal wilderness, while the Wilderness Boundary marks the transition into more managed forest lands. Notable landmarks like Tango Point and the Big Salmon Falls highlight the dramatic vertical relief and water-carved features of the Montana Rockies.
