About this map

Spread Mountain and East Spread Mountain dominate this high-altitude landscape in Lewis and Clark County, where a complex network of glacial cirques and drainage basins forms the headwaters of numerous creeks. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably at Camp Pass, which serves as a terrestrial link between the Falls Creek and Lake Creek watersheds.

Alpine hydrology is a central feature of the 2011 survey, with several prominent bodies of water such as Canyon Lake, Camp Lake, and the distinctly named Lake Otatsy dotting the high basins. These waters feed a branching system of tributaries, including McCabe Creek and Dwight Creek, which carve through the slopes of Omar Mountain and Fenn Mountain. The map provides a detailed look at the untouched wilderness character of the region as it existed in the early 21st century.
