About this map

Flathead National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape, where several prominent summits define the skyline. Elevations reach their heights at Horseshoe Peak, Hematite Peak, and Trinity Mtn, creating a complex network of ridgelines and drainages. The area is marked by a series of small, glacial-fed basins containing Castle Lake, Bradley Lake, and Flotilla Lake.

Drainage systems radiate from these peaks, including Bradley Cr and Head Cr, which carve through the wilderness terrain. The map detail highlights the remote character of this mountain environment, tracing the headwaters of numerous creeks such as Groom Cr and Tunnel Cr. Surveyed during the early 21st century, this record captures the topographic complexity of the northern Rocky Mountains within Flathead County, providing a clear view of the natural landmarks that have guided backcountry travelers for generations.
