About this map

The Mission Range dominates this portion of the Flathead National Forest, where a network of high-elevation drainages carves through the Montana landscape. This 2017 survey details the complex hydrography of the region, anchored by Porcupine Creek and its tributaries such as the North Fork Porcupine Creek and Gildart Creek. The topography is marked by significant elevations like Woodward Point, which overlooks a series of descending watercourses including Woodward Creek and Station Creek.

Access through this forested terrain is limited to specific routes like the Lake To Sky Road and National Forest Development Road 888 Road. The map also illustrates the interface between the national forest and several private or specialized land blocks, labeled as PB 37 through PB 44, providing essential context for land use and conservation in Lake County. This recent snapshot preserves the modern configuration of the Flathead National Forest before further environmental or infrastructure changes.
