2014 Map of Knowles

About this map

The Flathead River carves a deep valley through the heart of the Lolo National Forest, serving as a primary corridor for both transportation and drainage. The small settlement of Knowles sits along the northern bank, linked to the southern ridges by the Flathead River Bridge and MT-200. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, rising from the river bottoms to high points like Siegel Mtn and the transit point at Siegel Pass. Genealogy and local history researchers will find the Gingery Cem located just south of the river near Burgess Cr. The map documents a complex network of forest roads and trails, such as the Ninemile-Siegle Rd, which provide access to secluded water bodies like Burgess Lake and numerous mountain drainages including Robertson Cr and Wilson Cr.
