About this map

The high ridges of the Whitefish Range define this portion of the Flathead National Forest, where topography is dominated by the steep elevations of Moose Peak and Moran Peak. This 2020 survey illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by glacial drainage and timber management, with several prominent landforms such as Coal Ridge and Coal Creek Coal Ridge providing the high ground between watersheds. The network of forest service arteries, including Coal Creek Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 317 Rd, provides the primary access through these steep divides.

Water flows through a series of named drainages like Moran Creek and Cyclone Cr, eventually collecting in smaller basins such as Moose Lake. The mapping of the Whitefish Divide and the various creeks—from Hay Cr in the northwest to Kletomus Cr in the southeast—reveals the complex hydrological patterns of the northern Rockies. The inclusion of designated parcels like PB 38 and PB 42 offers additional data points for land ownership and boundary researchers.
