2024 Map of Johnson Peak

About this map

Johnson Peak stands as the central landmark of this terrain within the Flathead National Forest, marking the high ground of the Salish Mountains. This modern topographic study reveals a landscape defined by its drainages, where Good Creek and Sanko Creek carve routes through the timbered slopes. The presence of Star Meadow in the southern reaches of the sheet, served by Star Meadow Rd and the Star Meadow Trl, suggests a rare opening of level ground amidst the steep contours. A network of forest development roads, including the Sanko Creek Rd and Gregg Creek Rd, traces the history of resource management and back-country access. In the northeast, Shorts Meadow and the headwaters of Evers Creek provide further evidence of the diverse alpine meadow and riparian ecosystems that characterize this portion of Montana.
