1966 Map of Cyclone Lake

About this map

Cyclone Peak, topped by a prominent Lookout Tower, anchors this high-elevation landscape within the Flathead National Forest. To the east, the North Fork of the Flathead River carves a wide valley floor, creating the distinct riverine landscape of Home Ranch Bottoms and the open Lone Pine Prairie. This 1960s survey illustrates a wilderness being managed for multiple uses, showing a transition from the preserved wilderness of Glacier National Park across the river to the state and national forest lands to the west.
