About this map

The international border between Canada and the United States defines the northern edge of this high-elevation landscape, where the Kootenay District meets Flathead and Lincoln Counties. Dominated by the soaring peaks of Tuchuck Mountain and Review Mountain, the terrain is a complex network of glacial cirques and drainage basins. Remote outposts and natural clearings like Weasel Cabin and Timothy Meadow provide evidence of early forest management and backcountry travel within the Flathead National Forest.

Hydrological patterns are dictated by the steep divides, with waters flowing from Frozen Lake and Weasel Lake into an intricate system of creeks, including Weasel Creek and Yakinkak Creek. The map documents the high-country transit routes of the era, such as the crossing at Seemo Pass and the rugged contours of Copeland Basin. This 1990s revision by the Forest Service highlights the intersection of federal land management and the formidable geography of the northern Rockies.
