About this map

Holland Lake serves as a central landmark in this mid-1960s survey of the high country where the Bob Marshall Wilderness meets the Flathead National Forest. The landscape is defined by its network of high-elevation water bodies and drainage systems, from the Necklace Lakes in the north to the headwaters of the Clearwater River and Clearwater Lake in the south. The mapping of the Holland Gordon Trail and the Foothills Trail indicates the established routes used by packers and foresters through Gordon Pass.

Evidence of forest management is centered near the Guard Station on the western shore of the main lake, positioned at the mouth of Holland Creek. High peaks like Waldbillig Mountain and Wolverine Peak anchor the ridgelines that divide these protected wilderness lands, while the inclusion of the Lolo National Forest boundary in the southern quadrant highlights the administrative complexity of this alpine region.
