1964 Map of Coney Peak

About this map

The Flathead Indian Reservation Boundary cuts through the steep, timbered ridges of the Lolo National Forest in this mid-1960s study of the Montana backcountry. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Little Thompson River and its various tributaries, including the North Fork Little Thompson River, Tepee Creek, and Alder Creek. These drainage patterns reveal a rugged topography that, during this era, remained largely inaccessible to vehicles, relying instead on a primitive Pack Trail network for navigation.
