1968 Map of Chief Mountain

About this map

Chief Mountain stands as a massive focal point where the eastern boundary of Glacier National Park meets the Blackfeet Indian Reservation Boundary and the international border. This 1968 survey details a transition from the high peaks of Yellow Mountain and Sherburne Peak to the drainages of Lee Creek and Kennedy Creek. The map records essential backcountry infrastructure for the era, including remote Patrol Cabins and the Gable Pass Trail. The presence of the Chief Mountain International Highway provides the primary passage through this mountainous corridor, while features like the Borrow Pit and various Drill Hole markers indicate human activity and resource exploration within the Montana-Alberta borderlands.
