2020 Map of Slategoat Mountain

About this map

The Chinese Wall stands as a massive geologic landmark along the southern portion of this high-altitude landscape, where the Flathead National Forest meets the Lewis & Clark National Forest. This remote wilderness area is defined by the Lewis and Clark Range, featuring prominent elevations such as Slategoat Mtn and Redhead Peak. The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through the terrain, crossing near Spotted Bear Pass and following the high ridges that separate western and eastern watersheds. Numerous drainages, including the Spotted Bear River, Moose Cr, and the headwaters of the W Fork Sun River, carve through the steep topography. The lack of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the region's character as a preserved backcountry corridor, centered on the physical spine of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail.
