2014 Map of Pentagon Mountain

About this map

The Lewis and Clark Range dominates this portion of the northern Rockies, where the border between the Flathead National Forest and Lewis & Clark National Forest follows the high continental divide. This mountainous landscape is defined by its drainage systems, with Basin Cr and Park Cr carving deep valleys between prominent massifs like Pentagon Mtn and Clack Mtn. The map reveals a high-altitude wilderness at the turn of the 21st century, punctuated by clear alpine water bodies such as Dean Lake and Lake Levale. Notable peaks like Moonlight Peak and Table Mtn anchor the southern reaches of the survey, while Switchback Pass indicates the traditional routes used to traverse this complex terrain. The presence of the Flathead Co and Lewis and Clark Co line underscores how political boundaries often align with these formidable natural ridges.
