About this map

Lena Lake and the surrounding drainage of Big Salmon Creek define this high-altitude landscape in Missoula County. The 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a region dominated by glacial lakes and significant peaks, including Lena Peak, Shaw Mountain, and Trio Mountain. The map serves as a detailed record of the complex hydrology in the Flathead National Forest area, where numerous streams like Gordon Creek and Doctor Creek converge.

Water features are the primary landmarks here, from the larger Big Knife Lakes to the more isolated Koessler Lake and George Lake. Named terrain features such as Shamrock Point and Shirttail Park offer specific reference points for navigating the backcountry. This edition reflects the modern hydrography and elevation data of the early 21st century, preserving the exact naming conventions of this remote mountain wilderness.
