1938 Map of Chief Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Glacier National Park defines this landscape, as it appeared before the mid-century expansion of automotive tourism. The network of high-country lodgings, including Swiftcurrent Chalet, Sperry Chalet, and Going to the Sun Chalet, illustrates an era when visitor infrastructure relied on remote outposts accessible via the nascent Going to the Sun Highway. To the east, the Blackfeet Indian Reservation meets the park boundary near the ridge of Chief Mountain. Along the shores of Waterton Lake, the Goat Haunt Ranger Sta stands near the United States-Dominion of Canada border, marking a significant point of international transit. Scattered camps like Kellys Camp and Kootenai Camp, along with the small settlement at Apgar, provide evidence of early residential and recreational clusters within the protected wilderness area.
