About this map

The Sawtooth Range and Lewis and Clark Range dominate this high-altitude landscape where the Flathead Wild and Scenic River flows near the northern boundary. Situated within the protected expanses of the Bob Marshall Wilderness, the map documents a complex network of ridgeline and valley paths essential for mountain navigation. Significant elevation markers like Clack Mtn and Mount May Tri overlook deep drainage basins carved by Bowl Creek and Basin Creek.

High alpine waters, including Dean Lake and Lake Levale, dot the interior, while the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl snakes through the center of the sheet. The terrain is marked by strategic crossing points such as Switchback Pass, illustrating the historic routes used to traverse the continental divide before modern development. This modern survey serves as a vital record for tracing the footpaths and summits that define this portion of the Flathead National Forest.
