2017 Map of Pagoda Mountain

About this map

The Flathead National Forest defines this high-elevation wilderness in Montana, characterized by a complex network of drainages and prominent peaks. The South Fork Flathead River serves as the primary hydrological artery, winding through the western portion of the quadrangle. High-country plateaus and basins like Independence Park and Little Salmon Park are situated between massive features such as Pagoda Mtn and Mud Lake Mtn, highlighting the dramatic vertical relief of the landscape. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Damnation Cr, Black Bear Cr, and Lewis Cr carving deep valleys through the terrain. This 2017 survey details the primitive forest road network and the relationship between the major peaks, including Helen Mtn and Cone Peak, within the protected national forest boundaries.
