About this map

The North Fork Flathead River serves as a vital corridor through this section of the Whitefish Range, where the water is protected as part of the Flathead Wild and Scenic River system. The geography is defined by high peaks and narrow drainage basins, including the prominent Wedge Mtn and the steep descent of Wedge Canyon. This 2020 record of the landscape highlights the proximity of protected wilderness areas, with Glacier National Park and the Flathead National Forest meeting along the river's path.

Transportation in this remote corner of Flathead County relies on a network of forest roads such as the N Fork Rd and Trail Creek Rd, which provide access to isolated landmarks like Abbotts Flats and the Moose City Airport near the northern boundary. While the terrain is dominated by water and rock, small high-altitude lakes such as Garnet Lake and Miller Lake are tucked into the folds of the mountains, illustrating the complex hydrology of the region.
