1968 Map of Ahern Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Glacier National Park reveals its dramatic interior along the high ridges of the Continental Divide during the late 1960s. This survey centers on the area between Ahern Pass and Swiftcurrent Pass, where hikers and travelers relied on mountain infrastructure like the Chalet at Granite Park. The map documents established backcountry facilities including the Campsite Fifty Mtn Shelter Cabin and the Campsite Patrol Cabin, which supported park management and early recreational tourism. A striking network of glaciers such as the Ahern Glacier, Shepard Glacier, and Swiftcurrent Glacier are mapped in detail, feeding into water bodies like Helen Lake and the Mokowanis River. The southwestern corner captures a portion of the iconic Going-To-The-Sun Road as it negotiates the terrain at The Loop, providing access to the Highline Trail along The Garden Wall.
