1964 Map of Hubbart Reservoir

About this map

The Hubbart Reservoir serves as the central feature of this mid-1960s landscape, where the Little Bitterroot River is impounded just north of the Flathead Indian Reservation Boundary. The map documents a transition from the managed timberlands of the Flathead Nat For to the rugged drainage basins of Tamarack Creek and Briggs Creek. Notable human activity is marked by Conrad Camp on the reservoir's eastern shore and the Flathead Sunset Quarry further south. The topography is defined by the steep elevation changes surrounding Hidden Lakes and the strategic position of the Hubbard Lookout. This survey illustrates the specialized infrastructure of the era, from the Spillway to the network of unimproved roads that supported mountain access and early forest management.
