1938 Map of Chief Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Glacier National Park dominates this 1938 revision, illustrating the high mountain landscape and early tourism infrastructure along the United States-Dominion of Canada border. The map showcases the newly established Going-to-the-Sun Hwy, a significant engineering feat that opened the interior to visitors, connecting the western gateway at Apgar and West Glacier to the eastern slopes. High-altitude destinations such as Sperry Chalet and Many Glacier Chalet are documented alongside backcountry routes through Ptarmigan Tunnel and Logan Pass. Localized sites like Kellys Camp and Rogers Ranch provide evidence of early private holdings and ranching within the park's expanded boundaries. Elevations reach their peak at Mt Cleveland, while massive water bodies like Lake McDonald and Waterton Lake anchor the drainage systems of the Continental Divide.
