About this map

The South Fork Flathead River flows northward through this mountainous landscape, passing beneath the Billy R Garrett Memorial Bridge before reaching the southern reaches of the Hungry Horse Reservoir. This 2011 survey documents a corridor dominated by National Forest infrastructure and recreation, anchored by the Spotted Bear US Forest Service Airport and the nearby Spotted Bear Campground. These features mark a critical access point for the surrounding wilderness, where the Spotted Bear River joins the main fork.

Prominent terrain features like Beacon Mountain, Soldier Mountain, and Horse Ridge define the vertical geography, while lower elevations such as Bruce Meadows suggest the open valley floors. The presence of specialized infrastructure like the South Fork River Access and a network of Forest Service roads, including E Side Rd and W Side Rd, illustrates the area's continued use for forest management and back-country recreation.
