1994 Map of Lion Mountain

About this map

Flathead National Forest encompasses the high country of the Salish Mountains in this mid-1990s topographic record. The landscape is defined by prominent peaks like Lion Mountain, Baldy Mountain, and Blacktail Mountain, which overlook a network of drainages including Stoner Creek, Bierney Creek, and Cramer Creek. The geography here reflects a managed wilderness, where the Flathead Guide Meridian cuts through deep valleys and timbered slopes. Evidence of land use is found in labels for a Gravel Pit and an Electronic Site, while the Old Grade in the northeast corner hints at earlier transportation routes through the mountainous terrain. Small bodies of water like Lost Lake are tucked into the high elevations, while larger tributaries like Birch Creek and Patrick Creek navigate the complex topography of the Flathead region.
