1994 Map of Whitcomb Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1997

About this map

Spotted Bear River winds through a landscape of protected high-altitude terrain where the Great Bear Wilderness, Flathead National Forest, and Bob Marshall Wilderness meet. This 1994 revision, based on earlier surveys and 1990 aerial photography, documents the intricate drainage systems and physical barriers that characterize this part of Montana. Prominent landmarks such as Whitcomb Peak and Gunsight Peak stand along the wilderness boundaries, which are marked by sharp topographic features like the Limestone Wall. The map reveals the hydrography of the region, from the headwaters of Whitcomb Creek to the secluded Shelf Lake and Blue Lakes. Notable for its absence of established roads, the area is defined by a network of trails and natural sites including Limestone Cave and the remote outpost at Silvertip, illustrating the enduring isolation of these mountain ranges.
