2014 Map of Nyack

About this map

The Middle Fork Flathead River carves a central corridor through this mountain landscape, serving as a vital boundary between Glacier National Park to the northeast and Flathead National Forest to the southwest. The small settlement of Nyack sits along US Hwy 2 near the riverbanks, marking a point of human presence in a terrain dominated by massive peaks like Loneman Mtn and Mt Penrose. This corridor has long been a critical transit route, evidenced by the presence of Theodore Roosevelt Pass and the steep walls of John F Stevens Canyon. Numerous seasonal and perennial drainages such as Nyack Cr and Harrison Cr flow from the high ridges of the Flathead Range to feed the river. The map also shows the winding path of Highline Loop Rd in the southern section, illustrating the limited but purposeful road network required to navigate this high-elevation environment.
