1970 Map of Big Salmon Lake East

About this map

The Bob Marshall Wilderness dominates this 1970 study, showcasing a landscape defined by the winding South Fork Flathead River. As part of the Flathead National Forest, the map captures a period of early environmental management, evidenced by the Holbrook Guard Sta and a network of Pack Trails that provided the only access into these remote reaches. The river valley is punctuated by alluvial features like Murphy Flat and the confluence of the White River, where several fords suggest the historical movement of forest rangers and early pack trains.
