About this map

Hungry Horse Reservoir dominates this high-country landscape, its waters filling the deep canyons of the Flathead River and creating numerous inlets like Emery Bay and Abbot Bay. The reservoir is a defining feature of the Flathead National Forest, reflecting the mid-20th-century hydrological management of the region. The map details a network of lookouts and observation sites, including the Firefighter Mtn Lookout and Wounded Buck Observation Point, which were vital for monitoring the surrounding timberlands.

The rugged terrain is defined by prominent landforms such as Jimmy Ridge and Emery Ridge, while the Coram Experimental Forest in the northwest indicates a legacy of silvicultural research. Historical recreation and access points are noted through features like the Abbot Bay Boat Launch and the Lid Creek area, while the presence of a Gravel Pit suggests the ongoing maintenance of the forest road system required for both industry and public use.
