About this map

Flathead National Forest encompasses the high-altitude terrain shown in this 2014 survey, where the border between Missoula County and Powell County follows the prominent ridgelines. The landscape is defined by its glaciated basins, containing remote water bodies like Big Knife Lakes, Lena Lake, and Doctor Lake. Vertical relief is extreme, rising from the valley of Big Salmon Cr to the summits of Lena Peak and Shaw Mtn.

Hydrographic patterns reveal a network of drainages including Bartlett Cr and Gordon Cr, which carve through the wilderness. Notable landmarks such as Shirttail Park and Shamrock Point provide orientation within the roadless interior. The map also includes several public land survey subdivisions, labeled as PB blocks, which indicate complex land management history in this mountainous region of Montana.
