2024 Map of Saint Marys Lake

About this map

Saint Marys Lake and the Mission Reservoir anchor the western edge of this landscape, where the valley floor meets the dramatic rise of the Mission Range. The area is defined by the protected lands of the Mission Mountains Wilderness and the Flathead National Forest, showcasing a complex network of high-altitude water bodies like Lucifer Lake and Lake of the Stars. Notable peaks including West Saint Marys Peak and Kakashe Mtn are separated by steep drainages, most notably the several forks of Mission Creek. The presence of The Garden Wall along the eastern boundary and features such as Elizabeth Falls suggest a landscape shaped by significant glacial and fluvial activity, accessible only by limited corridors like St Mary's Lake Rd and Mission Dam Rd.
