2014 Map of Moose Peak

About this map

Moose Peak and Moran Peak dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Whitefish Range, where the drainages of the Flathead National Forest define the geography of the northern Rockies. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of creeks, including the westward flow of Coal Cr and its tributary S Fork Coal Cr, which cut through the ridges. Access to this wilderness is marked by forest service infrastructure like the Coal Creek Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 1687 Rd, reflecting the management of these timber and recreation lands. In the southern reaches, Moose Lake sits near the headwaters of Kletomus Cr, illustrating the high-basin hydrology common to this part of Montana. The map also captures several "PB" or protraction block boundaries, indicating areas where the official Public Land Survey System had not been fully established with traditional sections at the time of the survey.
