1966 Map of Camas Ridge West

About this map

Glacier National Park defines this 1966 topographic study, revealing a landscape dominated by the high elevations of Adair Ridge and Dutch Ridge. The map documents a primitive transportation network essential for park management and backcountry access during the mid-1960s, including the West Lakes (Pack) Trail and Glacier Route Eight. Water systems are central to the geography here, with Logging Lake in the north and the confluence of Camas Creek, Dutch Creek, and McGee Creek further south. These drainages carve deep valleys between the prominent ridges, while Christensen Meadows provides a rare break in the steep terrain near the park's interior. The survey captures the wild character of Flathead County before later 20th-century developments, focusing on the natural contours and established pack routes of the era.
