2014 Map of Kofford Ridge

About this map

Niarada sits at the southern edge of this 2014 survey, where the valley floor transitions into the complex topography of the Salish Mountains and the Hog Heaven Range. Much of the northern terrain is managed as the Flathead National Forest, characterized by steep drainage systems like Little Meadow Cr and Sullivan Cr. The map reveals a network of mountain transit corridors, most notably the Browns Meadow Rd which winds through Browns Meadow Pass. This area is defined by its industrial and natural geography, evidenced by the presence of the Flathead Mine Rd leading into the heights. Notable landmarks such as Kofford Ridge and the secluded Welcome Spring provide specific reference points for those tracing the history of land use and resource extraction in this part of Flathead County.
