About this map

Blackfeet National Forest and Lewis and Clark National Forest meet in this 1968 landscape, divided by a clear Reservation Boundary. The terrain is defined by the sharp elevations of Half Dome Crag and Kiyo Crag, which overlook a network of drainages including Runner Gulch and Slippery Hoof Creek. While largely a wilderness area of the Northern Rockies, the map records the historical footprint of Palookaville (Site), a named location situated along the North Fork of the drainage system.

Water sources are numerous and specifically named, suggesting their importance for navigation or livestock in the high country, with sites like Minnie White Horse Lake and Dog Gun Lake appearing alongside the primary flow of Badger Creek. The map also captures the Glacier Co Pondera Co line where it intersects with the rugged topography of Little Plume Peak, providing a precise look at these administrative and natural boundaries before later development or landscape changes.
