About this map

The Flathead River (North Fork) serves as a natural boundary in this mid-1960s landscape, dividing the Flathead National Forest to the west from Glacier National Park to the east. This area is defined by the intersection of administrative and recreational management, featuring the Big Creek Work Center and its associated Guard Sta alongside the Big Creek Campground and Upper Big Creek Campground.

The terrain is dominated by the Apgar Mountains and the Smoky Range, with the prominent Huckleberry Mountain rising above the river valley. Transportation is limited to rugged paths like the Pack Trail and the established Glacier Route Eight. The mapping of numerous drainage systems, such as Kimmerly Creek and Hell Roaring Creek, illustrates the complex watershed that feeds the main river artery through the Great Northern Flats.
