1994 Map of Skookoleel Creek

About this map

Flathead National Forest land defines this mountainous region of Montana, where the elevations of the Whitefish Range and the Smoky Range converge. The topography is dominated by a complex network of drainage basins, with Big Creek and Skookoleel Creek serving as the primary arteries for the area's hydrology. Surveyed primarily from aerial photography in the mid-1960s with updates through the early 1990s, the map reveals the layout of ridges and drainages that have historically dictated movement through the backcountry, such as Nicola Ridge and Hallowat Creek.
