About this map

The confluence of the Middle Fork Flathead River and the South Fork Flathead River serves as the focal point for this survey of the Flathead Valley. The landscape transitions from the protected wilderness of Glacier National Park and Flathead National Forest to the small communities of Hungry Horse, Coram, and Martin City. The Great Northern railroad tracks skirt the eastern edge of the valley, providing a vital connection through this mountain terrain.

Evidence of early 1960s local activity is visible in landmarks like the Glacier Bible Camp, the Sloan Ranch, and the Flathead River Ranger Station. Notable geographic features such as Teakettle Mountain and Badrock Canyon define the area's physical character, while the presence of the Blankenship Bridge and various gaging stations illustrates the management of these powerful river systems during this era.
