2014 Map of Murr Peak

About this map

Kootenai National Forest and Lolo National Forest converge across this high-elevation corner of Northwest Montana, defined by the administrative boundary of Flathead Co. The landscape is a complex of significant peaks, notably Murr Peak, Bold Peak, and Tepee Mtn, which anchor the surrounding drainage basins. High-country landmarks such as Castle Rock and Pinehill overlook a network of seasonal and perennial waters, including the N Fork Murr Cr and Briggs Cr. The map captures the specialized geography of the northern Rockies just after the turn of the century, where the absence of developed settlements emphasizes the role of the Forest Service in managing these watersheds. Deep drainages like Mandy Gulch and the winding course of Redmond Cr illustrate the primary hydrological patterns through t25n r25w and t26n r25w.
