About this map

Red Plume Mtn and the surrounding peaks of the Lewis and Clark Range dominate this portion of the Flathead National Forest. This high-altitude landscape is defined by a dense network of mountain drainages, where Morrison Cr, Granite Cr, and Challenge Cr carve through the steep topography. In the southwest corner, the Middle Fork Flathead River serves as a primary geographical boundary, while Skyland Rd provides limited access into the interior of the forest near Square Mtn.

The survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns that feed into the Flathead River system, including Twentyfive Mile Cr and Tumbler Cr. Landforms like Patrol Ridge and the Puzzle Hills offer specific reference points for topographic study. The map's detail is particularly valuable for understanding the modern forest management boundaries and the naming of local peaks such as Slippery Bill Mtn and Baldhead Mtn.
