1994 Map of Crater Lake

About this map

Flathead National Forest land dominates this 1994 revision, capturing the intersection of the Flathead Range and the Swan River valley. The map details the high-altitude Jewel Basin Hiking Area, where Crater Mountain and Broken Leg Mountain overlook a landscape carved by drainage systems like Wolf Creek and Meadow Creek. Along the valley floor, the Swan River meanders toward the northern reaches of Swan Lake, passing by the Loon Lake Access and a State Highway Weigh Station. This survey reflects a managed wilderness era, showing the transition from mountain trails to the transport corridors of the Hungry Horse Swan Lake Rd and Spotted Bear Rd. Several Gravel Pits and a Gaging Sta near Loon Lake indicate the ongoing infrastructure and hydrological monitoring within this corner of Lake and Flathead Counties.
