1968 Map of Chief Mountain

About this map

Glacier National Park dominates the western portion of this 1968 survey, meeting the Blackfeet Indian Reservation Boundary at the foot of the iconic Chief Mountain. The landscape is defined by the massive drainage systems of Lee Creek and Otatso Creek, which flow through the northeastern corner of the park toward the Canada United States border. This era of management is marked by the presence of back-country infrastructure, including Patrol Cabin locations and the Gable Pass Trail. High alpine features such as Yellow Mountain and Sherburne Peak rise above the high-altitude Slide Lake, while the Chief Mountain International Highway provides the primary vehicular artery through this wilderness crossing into the Lethbridge District.
