2014 Map of Werner Peak

About this map

Werner Peak stands as the central landmark of this high-elevation terrain within the Flathead National Forest. This 2014 survey documents the drainage systems and access routes that define the Whitefish Range, where numerous creeks including Hallowat Creek, Swift Creek, and Nicola Creek flow through the steep topography. The map illustrates a network of forest management and access roads, such as Lower Whitefish Rd and Whitefish Mountain Radio Rd, which connect the summits to the valleys below. Historically significant features like the Werner Div and the bowl of China Basin provide a detailed look at the geographic character of this corner of Montana. The intersection of major ridges, notably Nicola Ridge, highlights the area's role as a vital watershed feeding the various forks of Lazy Creek, including Middle Fork Lazy Creek and W Fork Lazy Creek.
