About this map

The North Fork Flathead River carves through this remote northern landscape, defining the topography of the borderlands between Montana and British Columbia. Small outposts and management sites like Moose City and the Kishenehn Patrol Cabin mark a region characterized by specialized transit and forest management rather than dense settlement. The road network, including N Fork Rd and Trail Creek Rd, follows the natural contours of the river valley and its tributaries, connecting isolated locations like Trailcreek and the riverside settlement of Ford.

Geological and aviation features punctuate the wilderness, from the heights of Wedge Mountain and Wurtz Hill to the landing strip at Wurtz Airport. The hydrology is defined by a dense network of mountain streams such as Spruce Creek, Kishenehn Creek, and Tepee Creek, which feed into local basins like Tepee Lake and Garnet Lake. This 2011 survey documents the persistent character of this trans-border corridor, where landmarks like Abbotts Flats and Wedge Canyon continue to orient travelers in the deep Flathead valley.
