1994 Map of Horseshoe Peak

About this map

The Great Bear Wilderness and Flathead National Forest dominate this high-elevation landscape, where a network of peaks and drainage basins defines the northern Montana backcountry. Central to the map is Horseshoe Peak, surrounded by high summits including Hematite Peak, Twin Mountain, and Trinity Mountain. The drainage pattern is complex, with Castle Creek flowing from Castle Lake and Bradley Creek emerging from Bradley Lake. The Hungry Horse Spotted Bear Rd provides the primary passage through this steep terrain, serving as a vital link for the U.S. Forest Service. This 1990s revision reflects the mid-century aerial surveys updated for modern accuracy, documenting the glacial hydrology of alpine features like Flotilla Lake and the various creeks that feed into the larger watershed.
