About this map

The Middle Fork Flathead River serves as the dividing line between Glacier National Park and the Flathead National Forest in this 1960s study. The map documents a landscape defined by the convergence of the Middle and South Fork Flathead River, which flow together near the community of Hungry Horse. This river network and the adjacent Great Northern railway shaped the development of the corridor, providing the primary access through the dramatic passage of Badrock Canyon.

Local development is concentrated along the river valley in the settlements of Coram and Martin City. Evidence of land use and administration is visible through features like the Flathead River Ranger Station, Glacier Bible Camp, and the Sloan Ranch near the park boundary. To the west, the steep ascent of Teakettle Mountain dominates the skyline, while smaller water bodies such as Lake Five and Mud Lake dot the forested benches above the river.
