2017 Map of Trilobite Peak

About this map

Flathead National Forest encompasses this wilderness area, defined by the dramatic peaks and ridges of the northern Rockies. The landscape is dominated by the Trilobite Range and its namesake summit, Trilobite Peak, which overlooks the high-elevation Trilobite Lakes. This terrain is deeply etched by a complex drainage network, including Dolly Varden Cr and the various branches of Pentagon Cr, which flow beneath prominent landmarks like Pentagon Mtn and Pivot Mtn. The lack of roads or established settlements on this 2017 survey reflects the area's protected status and its character as a remote mountain sanctuary. Features like Dean Falls and Shadow Lake suggest the seasonal hydrology and glacial history of the region, while Elk Ridge and Limestone Peak illustrate the geological diversity found along the Continental Divide's western slopes.
