1906 Map of Kintla Lakes

USGS Topo · Published 1927

About this map

The Flathead River carves through this northern wilderness along the United States Dominion of Canada border, revealing a landscape defined by massive glaciers and early homesteads. At the time of this survey, the area within Glacier National Park was sparsely settled, centered around isolated outposts like Schoenburg Ranch and Cummings Ranch. Geographers R. H. Chapman and R. H. Sargent documented a complex network of peaks and water bodies, including the significant Kintla Lake and Bowman Lake chains. Evidence of early resource exploration appears at Butte Well and Kintla Well, while river crossings such as Henshaw Bridge provided critical links for travelers and the Rangers Cabin. The map captures the height of the glacial era in the region, naming numerous active ice fields like the Agassiz Glacier and Rainbow Glacier before their mid-century recession.
