About this map

The Swan River valley serves as a primary geographic corridor in this mid-1990s survey of the northern Rockies. Dividing the territory between Lake County and Missoula County, the terrain is defined by the protected acreage of the Flathead National Forest and the high peaks of the Mission Mountains Wilderness. A dense network of drainage systems, including Jim Creek, Cold Creek, and Condon Creek, feeds into the river from the steep western slopes.

While largely preserved for conservation, the map records signs of land use such as a Gravel Pit and the established boundaries of the Mission Mountains Wilderness. The presence of Peck Lake and Jim Lake at different elevations illustrates the varied hydrology of the range. For those tracking historical land management and backcountry access, the map details the transition from the valley floor to the protected wilderness heights.
