2011 Map of Marmot Mountain

About this map

The South Fork Flathead River carves through the eastern edge of this wilderness terrain, defining a landscape shaped by narrow drainages and high summits. Reaching elevations marked by Marmot Mountain, Stadium Peak, and Snow Peak, the area is characterized by its complex network of cold-water tributaries. Small, secluded water bodies like Recluse Lake sit high in the drainage basins, while prominent geological features such as Slick Rock overlook the winding paths of Slick Creek and Hungry Creek. This portion of Flathead County illustrates the natural hydrology of the region before further human development, with names like Little Salmon Creek and Chasm Creek tracing the deep seasonal runoff channels that feed the larger river system to the east.
