1990 Map of Lost Creek Divide

About this map

Flathead National Forest land dominates this high-altitude terrain where the Reid Divide and Lost Creek Divide form the primary hydrological spine. Revised from aerial photography in the early 1990s, the map documents a landscape defined by drainage networks rather than human settlements. The topography is marked by several significant watercourses, including Oertiker Creek and Taylor Creek in the west, while Big Lost Draw and Rhodes Creek carve the eastern slopes. A rare break in the timber and steep relief is found at Mountain Meadow, situated between the ridges. The scarcity of named landmarks outside of geographic features indicates a wilderness character, where forest service management and natural water systems like Brown Creek are the primary points of reference for those navigating this portion of Flathead County.
