2020 Map of Upper Whitefish Lake

About this map

The Whitefish Divide and Coal Ridge define this high-altitude landscape within the Flathead National Forest, where the boundary between Lincoln and Flathead counties follows the jagged terrain. The drainage systems of Upper Whitefish Lake and Mystery Lake feed into a network of creeks including Antice Cr and the W Fork Swift Cr. Long-distance hiking is established here along the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail, which winds past Diamond Peak and through Haines Pass. Access is provided by a network of forest routes such as Red Meadow Rd and Antice Rd, illustrating the modern management of this timber and recreation land. The presence of named summits like Antice Knob and Antice Point suggests a history of local geographic surveying in this part of the Whitefish Range.
