2011 Map of Whitcomb Peak

About this map

Whitcomb Peak and Big Bill Mountain dominate this high-elevation landscape within Flathead County, where drainage networks define the terrain. The central waterway of the Spotted Bear River receives numerous tributaries including Milk Creek, Whitcomb Creek, and Silvertip Creek. The presence of the Beaver Creek Campground near the confluence of Beaver Creek and Deer Creek indicates the area's role as a point of access for backcountry travelers. Geologic features such as the Limestone Wall and Gunsight Rock highlight the prominent vertical relief characteristic of the region. This 2011 survey illustrates the modern status of forest service roads like 564 and 568, which provide the primary means of navigating this remote mountain environment.
