1994 Map of Werner Peak

About this map

The Whitefish Range dominates this mid-1990s survey, marking a significant borderland between the Stillwater State Forest and the Flathead National Forest. This high-elevation terrain is centered on the prominent Werner Peak, which features a recorded lookout station. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems, where the Middle Fork Swift Creek and Lazy Creek carve through the western slopes while Werner Creek flows toward the east. Human presence is largely limited to recreational and industrial access, including the Ralph Thayer Memorial Trail and a remote prospect site. The map captures the alignment of the Eighth Standard Parallel North as it cuts across the ridgelines, providing a technical look at how this wilderness was managed and partitioned for forestry and conservation near the end of the 20th century.
