1970 Map of Bungalow Mountain

About this map

The Flathead National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape within the northern Rockies, specifically encompassing a significant portion of the Bob Marshall Wilderness as it appeared in 1970. The terrain is marked by the steep drainage systems of the Spotted Bear River and the White River, which flow through deep valleys separated by prominent peaks such as Ibex Mountain and Bungalow Mountain. Evidence of early administrative and fire-watch management is found at the Bungalow Lookout and the Pentagon Guard Sta, both accessible by established paths like the Pentagon Creek Trail. This survey captures the remote character of the wilderness before later 20th-century shifts in forest management, highlighting isolated features like Christopher Lake and the dramatic Cliffs rising above the river basins.
