1962 Map of Doris Mountain

About this map

Flathead National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape, where the Hungry Horse Reservoir meets the industrial infrastructure of the Powerhouse and Substation. The 1962 survey captures a wilderness in transition, balancing the engineered utility of the South Fork Flathead River with an extensive network of traditional backcountry routes like the Aurora Trail and Doris Trail. These paths weave between prominent summits including Columbia Mountain and Doris Mountain, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns of Doris Creek and Fawn Creek. Along the river’s edge, specific navigational and monitoring points such as the Gaging Sta and the sharp bend at Devils Elbow offer precise geographic markers for those studying the mid-century development of Montana's water resources and forest management.
