About this map

The South Fork Flathead River carves a central path through this Flathead County landscape, defining the topography of the region. The map highlights the Meadow Creek Gorge, a dramatic natural feature where the river narrows between elevated terrain. Nearby, the Meadow Creek-US Forest Service Airport serves as a critical access point for forest management and backcountry navigation.

Elevated landmarks like Sarah Peak, Picture Ridge, and the curiously named Black Bear Hump dominate the southern portion of the quadrangle. These peaks rise above a dense network of drainage systems including Bunker Creek, Willow Creek, and Cedar Creek. The presence of Bunker Park suggests a relatively level basin amidst the surrounding high ground, providing a natural clearing within this heavily forested river corridor.
