2011 Map of Quartz Ridge

About this map

Bowman Lake dominates the northwest corner of this high-elevation landscape in Flathead County, serving as a primary focal point for the surrounding wilderness. The map details a rugged hydrologic network where Quartz Creek connects a series of alpine waters, including Lower Quartz Lake, Middle Quartz Lake, and the primary Quartz Lake. This chain of lakes is framed by significant topographical features such as Quartz Ridge and Cerulean Ridge, which define the drainage basins for Akokala Creek and Cummings Creek.
