About this map

Nasukoin Mountain and Akinkoka Peak dominate this high-elevation landscape in Flathead County, defined by a complex network of drainage basins and forest service infrastructure. The northern portion of the map is centered on the Whale Creek corridor, where the Whale Creek Falls marks a significant hydrological transition. Transportation is limited to specialized routes such as Natl Forest Develop Road 1674 Rd and Whale Creek Rd, reflecting the area's primary use for forest management and resource access.

To the south, the terrain descends toward Red Meadow Lake and the Chain Lakes, which feed the eastern-flowing Red Meadow Creek. The intersection of Shorty Creek and its south fork provides a clear view of the localized watershed patterns between Lake Mountain and Whitefish Mountain. This 2011 survey captures the remote character of the region as it was managed by the U.S. Forest Service at the start of the decade.
