The Flathead Range is a mountain range of the Canadian Rockies in Alberta and British Columbia, Canada. It is located on the Continental Divide, east of Fernie, in the Kootenay Land District.[2] It stretches 27 kilometers (17 miles) lengthwise north–south from Crowsnest Pass to North Kootenay Pass. The range's toponym was officially adopted by the Geographic Board of Canada 30 June 1912, and was named in association with the Flathead River.[1]
