1966 Map of Bull Lake

About this map

The Stillwater River winds through this mid-1960s terrain, marking the boundary between Lincoln Co and Flathead Co. This is a landscape of profound topographical relief, dominated by the massif of Herrig Mountain and the high summit of Stryker Pk. The southern portion of the sheet is defined by the Great Northern rail corridor, which follows the river valley past Point of Rocks and the Sunday Lakes. A distinct network of alpine waters including Bull Lake, Fish Lake, and Herrig Lake are concentrated within the Stillwater State Forest and surrounding national forest lands. The presence of a Radio Tower on a remote ridge and a Gravel Pit near Duck Lake indicate the light infrastructure supporting this timber and mountain wilderness just before the modern era of backcountry management.
