1904 Map of Chief Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1914

About this map

Glacier National Park is documented here during the early twentieth century, revealing a landscape defined by its ice-carved peaks and the transition from the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in the east. This survey, conducted shortly after the turn of the century by Francois E. Matthes and R.H. Sargent, captures the area before modern infrastructure arrived, highlighting early landmarks like Rogers Ranch and Apgar. The map traces the Continental Divide as it winds through high summits such as Mt Cleveland and Chief Mtn, while early mountain travel is marked by Swiftcurrent Pass and Ahern Pass. Hydrological features include the northern reach of Waterton Lake crossing into the United States Dominion of Canada and the drainage of the Belly River, providing a detailed look at the region’s topography before the widespread development of the national park system.
