1963 Map of Horse Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Horse Hill and its Lookout Tower command the center of this mountain landscape within the Kootenai National Forest and Flathead National Forest. This 1963 survey, photorevised in the early 1980s, captures the remote drainage basins of Wolf Creek and Little Wolf Creek before extensive modern development. The northwest corner is defined by the Burlington Northern railroad corridor as it follows the curve of the water through the valley, while higher elevations like Sheppard Mountain and Tepee Mountain are marked by an established Pack Trail. Toward the southern edge of the sheet, Island Lake and Surprise Hill provide clear reference points for those tracing historical land use or timber boundaries. The map reflects a moment in time when the national forest infrastructure relied heavily on these high-altitude lookout points and rugged transit routes.
