2024 Map of Whitcomb Peak

About this map

The Spotted Bear River carves through the center of this remote mountain landscape, defining a corridor between the high peaks of the Great Bear Wilderness and the Bob Marshall Wilderness. This 2024 map documents a rugged section of the Flathead National Forest where accessibility is defined entirely by trail systems rather than roads. Significant alpine features like Whitcomb Peak and Sergeant Mtn anchor the terrain, while the massive Limestone Wall rises in the southeast. A network of historic routes, including the Gunsight Peak Trl and Silvertip Creek Trl, connects high-altitude landmarks such as Gunsight Lake and Shelf Lake. This survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns of Whitcomb Creek and Milk Creek as they feed into the primary river valley, offering a detailed view of the natural boundaries and topographic shifts of the northern Rockies.
