2017 Map of Murr Peak

About this map

Murr Peak and Castle Rock dominate the high-elevation terrain of this 2017 survey, which covers the boundary between the Kootenai National Forest and the Lolo National Forest. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, with the N Fork Murr Cr and Tamarack Cr flowing through the northern half, while Redmond Cr and Clear Cr carve through the southern sections. This portion of the Salish Mountains reveals a complex network of forest roads and trails, including the notably labeled Red Gate Rd, serving as the primary infrastructure through the heavily forested mountain slopes. Near the southern edge of the sheet, the border between Flathead Co and Sanders Co runs just north of Tepee Mtn, marking a transition between administrative jurisdictions in this part of northwestern Montana.
