About this map

The Whitefish Range defines this high-elevation landscape within the Flathead National Forest, where the boundary between Lincoln and Flathead counties follows the primary drainage divides. The terrain is marked by prominent summits such as Mt Thompson-Seton, Masonry Peak, and Huntsberger Peak, which overlook a network of glacial lakes and headwater streams. Notable water bodies including Whale Lake, Huntsberger Lake, and Bruin Lake sit in high basins, feeding tributaries like Whale Creek and the Stillwater River.

Access across the divide is facilitated by a system of trails rather than developed roads, emphasizing the wilderness character of the region in the early twenty-first century. The Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail traverses the southern portion of the map, intersecting with local routes like the Deep Creek Trl and Krinklehorn/Locke Trl. This area serves as a critical watershed, with numerous named creeks such as Russky Creek and Chepat Creek carving through the steep topography.
