About this map

Mining operations and high-altitude terrain define this landscape within the Flathead Indian Reservation Boundary and Flathead National Forest. This 1987 revision, based on earlier surveys, captures a network of active and historic mineral claims concentrated in the southern reaches of the Hog Heaven Range. Features such as the West Flathead Mine, Mary Ann Mine, and Battle Butte Mine are clustered near Sullivan Creek, illustrating the area's legacy of extraction.

Remote infrastructure is limited but significant, including the Wooster Ranch near Browns Meadow Creek and several unnamed prospects and springs. The topography is characterized by steep divides like Kofford Ridge and Browns Meadow Pass, which separate the drainage basins of the Flathead and Sanders County line. A single Pack Trail in the northeast remains one of the few established routes through these heavily timbered slopes.
