2017 Map of Upper Whitefish Lake

About this map

The Flathead National Forest covers this stretch of the Whitefish Range, a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and high-altitude drainage basins. Upper Whitefish Lake sits as a central water feature, fed by the W Fork Swift Cr and surrounded by a network of forest roads including Red Meadow Rd and Antice Rd. The map illustrates the area's transition into the backcountry, where the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail traverses the northern peaks near Hay Cr. Several distinctive local peaks and ridges, such as Diamond Peak, Stryker Ridge, and Coal Ridge, highlight the complex topography. To the south, high-relief features like Antice Knob and Haines Pass overlook the headwaters of Swift Cr and Chicken Cr, documenting the remote hydrological and trail systems of Flathead County.
