2017 Map of Stryker

About this map

Stryker and Trego serve as the primary coordinates for this 2017 survey of the Montana high country, where the Stillwater River cuts through the eastern edge of the Kootenai National Forest. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, most notably at Patrick Ridge and the cluster of alpine water bodies including Dickey Lake, Murphy Lake, and Haystack Lake. A complex network of timber and access roads, such as Natl Forest Develop Road 857 Rd and the Brimstone-Sunday Creek Rd, illustrates the modern management of this timber-rich region. The map captures the quiet intersection of these small mountain settlements with the broader wilderness of the Lincoln and Flathead county lines, providing a detailed record of drainage patterns from Cripple Cr to Brimstone Cr.
