About this map

Flathead National Forest land dominates this 2014 survey, illustrating the convergence of the Whitefish Range and the Smoky Range in northwestern Montana. The drainage patterns of Skookoleel Creek, Canyon Creek, and Big Creek define the vertical relief, showing how water moves through this heavily forested environment. The map records several high-altitude landmarks, including the prominent Big Mountain in the southwest corner and Forks Lookout further north.

Evidence of historical land management is visible through the numerous labeled tracts such as PB 42 and PB 44, indicating the systematic division of these mountain slopes. Strategic points like Dead Horse Ridge and Nicola Ridge provide natural vantage points across the watershed. The detail provided by the U.S. Geological Survey helps researchers understand the modern accessibility of these remote drainages, from Hell Roaring Creek to the southern reaches of Hallowat Creek.
