2014 Map of Pilot Peak

About this map

Big Prairie serves as a focal point in this high-elevation wilderness within the Flathead National Forest. This 2014 survey documents a landscape dominated by the Lewis and Clark Range and the meandering path of the South Fork Flathead River. The map captures the complex drainage systems of the region, where waters from Danaher Cr and Youngs Cr converge, shaping the valley floors between imposing summits. Historically significant landmarks and topographic features, including Pilot Peak, Fossil Mtn, and Jumbo Mtn, define the horizon. The inclusion of Wild Homestead along a creek fork hints at the early human footprint in this remote terrain, providing a point of interest for those tracing land use and early mountain habitation in Powell County.
