1989 Map of Murr Peak

About this map

The Kootenai National Forest and Lolo National Forest converge in this high-elevation mountain terrain at the northwestern edge of the Flathead Indian Reservation Boundary. The landscape is defined by prominent peaks including Murr Peak, Bold Peak, and the distinctive Castle Rock, which serves as a natural landmark for the surrounding drainage systems. A network of primitive transport routes, labeled simply as Pack Trail or Trail, navigates the steep grades, connecting the isolated settlement at Pinehill to the creek valleys below. The hydrography of the region is equally complex, with the North Fork Murr Creek and Briggs Creek carving through the timbered slopes. The presence of the Flathead Co Sanders Co line highlights the administrative intersections of this remote wilderness area during the late 20th century.
