1904 Map of Chief Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1934

About this map

Glacier National Park and the Blackfeet Indian Reservation meet along a dramatic alpine divide in this early twentieth-century survey. The landscape is defined by its massive peaks and glacial hydrology, from the high summit of Mt Cleveland to the waters of Waterton Lake spanning the United States-Dominion of Canada Boundary Line. Small settlements like Apgar at the foot of the mountains and Rogers Ranch provide early evidence of human presence in this high-altitude wilderness before its later development. The map meticulously documents the complex network of drainage and ice, featuring landmarks such as Sherburne Lake, Iceberg Lake, and the distinctive Going-to-the-Sun Mtn. This record captures the region shortly after its initial topographic survey by Francois E. Matthes and R.H. Sargent, offering a detailed view of the terrain as it existed at the dawn of the national park era.
