2011 Map of Upper Whitefish Lake

About this map

Upper Whitefish Lake serves as the central focal point of this mountainous region in Flathead County, where the high-altitude hydrology is defined by the convergence of the West Fork Swift Creek and East Fork Swift Creek. The landscape is dominated by significant elevation markers including Diamond Peak and the high corridor of Haines Pass. Human presence is largely concentrated around the Upper Whitefish Campground, reflecting the area's role as a managed wilderness space. The terrain is deeply carved by numerous drainages such as Swede Creek, Antice Creek, and Chicken Creek, while Stryker Ridge and Antice Point provide prominent topographic overlooks. The mapping reveals a network of forest access routes like Hay Creek Rd and N F 715 Rd, which connect these remote water bodies and peaks within the backcountry.
