About this map

Lolo National Forest and Flathead National Forest meet in this high-altitude landscape defined by steep basins and isolated mountain lakes. The terrain is dominated by prominent summits including Fisher Peak, Sunday Mtn, and Pyramid Peak, which overlook the headwaters of the E Fork Clearwater River and numerous drainages like Babcock Cr and Morrell Cr. This 2017 survey illustrates the complex geography along the Missoula Co and Powell Co border, where glacial landforms such as Grizzly Basin sit amidst high ridgelines.

Water is a central feature of the topography, with Morrell Lake, Florence Lake, and George Lake tucked into the mountain slopes. Access to this backcountry is marked by routes such as Morrell Clearwater Rd and Morrell Rice Ridge, which follow the natural contours of the Rice Ridge. This map provides clear visualization of the hydrological and geological boundaries of the Swan Range and southern Seeley Lake area.
