2017 Map of Morrell Mountain

About this map

Lolo National Forest and Flathead National Forest converge in this high-elevation wilderness, defined by the sharp transition between the Powell and Missoula County line. The terrain is anchored by massive peaks such as Morrell Mtn and Monture Mtn, which serve as the headwaters for a dense network of mountain streams. To the south, the landscape softens into the basin of the Cottonwood Lakes, where early forest access is established via Cottonwood Lakes Rd and Spring Creek Rd. The presence of Little Shanley Creek and Nome Point suggests a region primarily dedicated to timber management and watershed protection. This survey captures the mid-century forest road system, including the Wordworth-Seeley Lake Rd, providing a clear look at the topography before later twentieth-century environmental shifts altered these drainage patterns.
