2024 Map of Horseshoe Peak

About this map

Great Bear Wilderness and Flathead National Forest dominate this high-elevation terrain in Flathead County, defined by a complex network of summits and drainage basins. High points like Hematite Peak, Trinity Mtn, and the central Horseshoe Peak anchor the geography, while the landscape is carved by numerous watercourses including Bradley Creek, Spy Creek, and Tanner Creek. The map reveals a remote environment where human presence is marked primarily by a sophisticated system of backcountry trails. Routes such as the Bradley Lake Trl, Spy Mtn Trl, and Upper Twin Creek Trl provide the only access through these steep contours, connecting remote water bodies like Castle Lake and Flotilla Lake. The absence of roads or permanent settlements highlights the preserved, primitive character of this section of the Rocky Mountains.
