About this map

Morrell Mountain and its high-elevation Morrell Mountain Lookout command the center of this terrain where the Lolo National Forest meets the Flathead National Forest. This 1999 revision captures the wilderness boundary of the Bob Marshall Wilderness along the northern edge, an area defined by steep drainages and fire-watch infrastructure. The map documents a complex drainage network including Blind Canyon Creek and Dunham Creek, reflecting the importance of watershed management within the Seeley Lake Ranger District.

Evidence of natural resource activity and land management appears in the form of a Gravel Pit near Shanley Creek and the established Dunham Trail. The intersection of the Powell and Missoula county line across these peaks illustrates the administrative partitioning of the backcountry, which remained largely inaccessible by standard vehicle during this era except for specified routes like Seeley Lake Creek.
