About this map

North Fork Flathead River serves as a natural corridor through the wilderness, defining the boundary between Flathead National Forest and Glacier National Park during the mid-1990s. The landscape is marked by remote outposts like Trailcreek and the Kishenehn station, reflecting the administrative and sparse residential presence in this corner of Montana near the International Boundary.

Logistics in this rugged terrain relied on specific infrastructure, including a Landing Strip and the small settlement at Ford to the south. Notable elevations such as Wedge Mountain and Wurtz Hill overlook a network of drainages including Tepee and Sage creeks. The map documents the protected status of the river through the Wild and Scenic River Boundary, which follows the river's winding path through Abbotts Flats.
