About this map

The South Fork Flathead River carves through the northwestern corner of this territory, where the open landscape of Big Prairie meets the high elevations of the Lewis and Clark Range. This wilderness-focused area is defined by its complex network of drainages, including the convergences of Danaher Creek, Youngs Creek, and Gordon Creek. The terrain is punctuated by prominent summits such as Pilot Peak, Scintilla Mountain, and Jumbo Mountain.

A notable river crossing is found at Youngs Creek Ford, highlighting the importance of traditional travel routes in this mountainous environment. To the southeast, the labeling of Wild Homestead near the creek's headwaters provides a point of interest for researchers of high-country land use and early settlement patterns. This map serves as a primary source for the topographic layout of the southern South Fork Flathead River drainage before modern landscape changes.
