2017 Map of Pilot Peak

About this map

Flathead National Forest encompasses this wilderness area in Powell County, dominated by the high ridgelines of the Lewis and Clark Range. The drainage network is particularly complex here, where the South Fork Flathead River is fed by a series of significant tributaries including Cayuse Cr and Brownstone Cr. The landscape is a corridor of peaks and basins, defined by prominent summits such as Pilot Peak, Jumbo Mtn, and Scintilla Mtn. High-elevation features like Emerson Peak and Fossil Mtn overlook the winding courses of Youngs Cr and Danaher Cr. This 2017 survey reflects the modern management boundaries and hydrographic data of the region, providing a clear view of the undeveloped mountain terrain that has shaped the natural history of western Montana.
