1938 Map of Chief Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Many Glacier serves as a central hub in this high-altitude landscape, where the early 20th-century development of tourism infrastructure is evident through the placement of remote outposts like Sperry Chalet and Snyder Chalet. This survey, revised just before the Second World War, traces the engineering feat of the Going-to-the-Sun Highway as it traverses the Continental Divide. The eastern boundary is defined by the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, marked by the prominent Chief Mtn, while the northern edge follows the United States - Dominion of Canada border at Waterton Lake. The map details a transition from the established settlements of West Glacier and Apgar at the foot of Lake McDonald to the backcountry locations of Goat Haunt Ranger Sta and Rogers Ranch, reflecting the era's balance between conservation and emerging accessibility.
