1958 Map of Circus Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The South Fork Flathead River corridor defines this portion of the Flathead National Forest, shown here shortly after the creation of the Hungry Horse Reservoir. The map illustrates the dramatic shift from riverine to lacustrine environment, with the reservoir's fingers reaching into former creek beds like Brush Creek and Park Creek. High-elevation landmarks such as Prospector Mountain, Circus Peak, and Dry Park Mountain tower over the drainage basins, their slopes marked by numerous named watercourses including Toboggan Creek and Bergsicker Creek. Transportation in this wilderness setting is limited to primitive routes like the Lower Twin Trail and various unnamed pack trails, reflecting a landscape managed for conservation and resource protection in the mid-20th century. The intricate contour work reveals the steep transition from the water's edge at 3,560 feet to peaks exceeding 7,000 feet.
