About this map

Gray Wolf Peak and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the Mission Mountains define this 1987 study of the Flathead Indian Reservation and Flathead National Forest. This landscape is characterized by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and dramatic summits along the border of Lake and Missoula counties. The map documents numerous water features with evocative names, including The Angels Bathing Pool, Daughter of the Sun Mountain, and the Gray Wolf Glacier.

A network of primitive travel is represented by the Pack Trail winding through the Mission Mountains Tribal Wilderness, reflecting the area's protected status and limited development at the time of the 1977 aerial revisions. From Turquoise Lake in the north to Blacktail Peak in the south, the topography captures a preserved alpine environment where geographic landmarks like the Pass of The Winds and Giant Spring serve as the primary navigational anchors.
