About this map

Flathead National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape within the Whitefish Range, where complex drainage systems and prominent ridgelines define the terrain. The northern portion is dominated by the heights of Coal Ridge and Moran Peak, with Coal Creek and its various tributaries, including the South Fork Coal Creek, carving deep valleys through the mountains. To the south, Moose Peak rises as a major landmark overlooking Moose Lake and the headwaters of Kletomus Creek.

Access through this roadless and undeveloped area is primarily facilitated by an established trail network, including the Whitefish Divide Trl and the Dead Horse Ridge-Moose Lake Trl. These routes, along with old forest service roads like Natl Forest Develop Road 317 Rd, reflect the long-term management of these timberlands and the preservation of the watershed, which includes Mathias Creek and Cyclone Creek.
