1958 Map of Felix Peak

About this map

The Hungry Horse Reservoir South Fork Flathead River dominates the southwestern corner of this survey, reflecting the mid-century transformation of the landscape within the Flathead National Forest. This interior wilderness, mapped in the late 1950s, reveals a network of fire management and resource extraction, notably the Felix Mine tucked below the high ridges. Topographical high points such as Felix Peak and Mount Baptiste are connected by a series of primitive routes including the Felix Basin Trail and the Baptiste Lookout Trail. Administrative presence in this remote terrain is anchored by the Betty Creek Ranger Station and several observation points like Baptiste Lookout and Canyon Lookout. The drainage patterns of Unawah Creek, Dirtyface Creek, and Logan Creek define the steep basins that characterize this section of the Rocky Mountains, illustrating the challenging geography navigated by early foresters and miners.
