2011 Map of Trilobite Peak

About this map

Pot Mountain Lookout overlooks a high-elevation backcountry network in Flathead County, dominated by the prominent peaks and alpine basins of the Trilobite Range. The landscape is defined by its dramatic verticality, where Trilobite Peak and Pentagon Mountain rise above the headwaters of several significant drainages. The Spotted Bear River and Slim Creek drain the southwestern corner, while Dolly Varden Creek and Argosy Creek carve through the north. This 2011 survey captures the hydrological complexity of the area, featuring the tiered Trilobite Lakes and the secluded Pot Lake. For those studying the geography of Northwest Montana, the map documents specific landmarks such as Dean Falls and the distinct ridgeline of Elk Ridge, alongside several other named summits like Cruiser Mountain and Shadow Mountain.
