2024 Map of Swift Reservoir

About this map

The Bob Marshall Wilderness and Lewis & Clark National Forest dominate this landscape, where the high peaks of the Sawtooth Range meet the managed headwaters of the eastern slopes. The Swift Reservoir sits as a primary collection point for drainage from the North Fork Birch Creek and Phillips Creek. This area is defined by a dense network of high-altitude trails, including the North Fork Birch Creek Trl and the Two Med-Heart Butte Trl, which navigate the steep elevations between Feather Woman Mtn and Major Steele Backbone. The drainage patterns, illustrated by Hungry Man Creek and Haywood Creek, reveal the complex hydrology required to manage water resources along the Pondera and Teton County line.
