1994 Map of Hash Mountain

About this map

Lake Blaine and the surrounding foothills of the Flathead National Forest define this landscape on the edge of the Kalispell valley during the mid-1990s. The map illustrates a transition between valley agriculture and the steep, wooded rise of the Swan Range, marked by Peters Ridge and the summit of Hash Mountain. Local education and conservation are central to the area's identity, evidenced by the Cayuse Prairie Sch, Mountain Brook Sch, and the Creston National Fish Hatchery. Water is a dominant feature, with dozens of small lakes and ponds such as Jessup Mill Pond, Plummers Lake, and McWurray Lake scattered throughout the glacial terrain. The presence of a Gravel Pit and various logging trails indicates a working landscape integrated with the forest’s natural resources.
