2024 Map of Whale Buttes

About this map

The Whitefish Range within the Flathead National Forest defines this high-elevation mountain landscape. This territory is marked by significant topographical relief, centered on the Whale Buttes and dissected by an intricate drainage system including Whale Creek, Moose Creek, and Red Meadow Creek. The mapping reveals a network of high-altitude accessibility through various forest development roads such as Natl Forest Develop Road 1681 RD and Nat For Dev Rd 1675. Recreation and passage through these peaks are anchored by the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trl and the Moose Creek Trl, which provide a grounded look at the remote trail systems utilized by hikers and forest managers alike.
