2023 Map of Sylvia Lake

About this map

The Salish Mountains define the high-country divide between the Flathead National Forest and Kootenai National Forest in this contemporary survey of Northwest Montana. Centered on its namesake Sylvia Lake, the landscape is a network of watercourses and ridges, including the headwaters of Griffin Creek and Little Wolf Creek. The map documents a rugged timber and recreational environment where peaks like Ingalls Mtn, Mt Conner, and Grubb Mtn dominate the skyline. A dense web of forest infrastructure is visible through numerous named forestry roads and a legacy trail system, such as the Ingalls - Mt Conner Trl and the Flathead/Kootenai Divide Trl, which follow the natural contours of the high terrain and provide access to remote areas like Lefthand Meadow.
