1970 Map of Cathedral Peak

About this map

Flathead National Forest encompasses this high mountain terrain, defined by a network of drainage basins and prominent peaks. The landscape is characterized by the divide between Corporal Creek in the northwest and the winding course of Silvertip Creek to the east. Topographic details from the 1969 aerial survey reveal the primitive infrastructure of the Bob Marshall Wilderness, where travel was restricted to named routes like the Silvertip Trail and various stretches of Pack Trail. High points such as Cathedral Peak and Minaret Peak serve as primary landmarks for navigation through the dense drainage networks of Lost Jack Creek and Mid Creek. The map provides a clear record of the area's wilderness boundaries and undeveloped state during the early 1970s.
