About this map

Slategoat Mtn dominates the eastern boundary of this high-elevation wilderness, where the borders of the Flathead National Forest and Lewis & Clark National Forest meet. This terrain is characterized by the massive limestone escarpment of the Chinese Wall, a defining feature of the Lewis and Clark Range that runs through the southwestern portion of the map.

A network of drainages defines the watershed, including the W Fork S Fork Sun River and Moose Cr. The geography reflects a protected landscape largely devoid of permanent human settlements, prioritizing preservation and natural hydrology. Notable high points like Redhead Peak and White Ridge provide a clear view of the complex ridgelines and gulches, such as Grizzly Gulch, that navigate the Continental Divide at Spotted Bear Pass.
