About this map

Flathead National Forest encompasses this high-elevation segment of the Whitefish Range, a landscape defined by sharp peaks and alpine basins. The topography is anchored by Nasukoin Mtn and Akinkoka Peak, with glacial cirques holding remote water bodies like Nasukoin Lake and the Chain Lakes. A network of Forest Service roads, including Whale Creek Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 1674 Rd, provides access to the northern drainages.

Modern recreation and preservation are evident through the passage of the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail, which skirts Whitefish Mtn and Link Mtn. This high-country drainage system feeds into significant local waterways, with Whale Cr and Red Meadow Cr carving deep valleys through the timbered slopes. The map also delineates the Flathead Co and Lincoln Co boundary, marking a remote divide in Northwest Montana.
