2017 Map of Mount Hefty OE N

About this map

The Flathead River winds through this international border region, where the remote mountain terrain of Flathead National Forest meets the line between Montana and Canada. The landscape is defined by a network of drainage systems, including the westward-flowing Burnham Cr, Couldrey Cr, and Calder Cr, which carve through the high elevations. In the north, high-altitude water bodies like Beryl Lake and Marl Lake feed into Beryl Cr, eventually contributing to the larger Howell Creek system. This 2017 survey illustrates a wilderness nearly devoid of modern infrastructure, preserving the primitive character of the upper Flathead drainage as it crosses from Flathead County into British Columbia.
