1906 Map of Kintla Lakes

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Flathead River carves a critical boundary through this high-altitude landscape, defining the western edge of Glacier National Park as it stood in the early twentieth century. This survey, updated with revisions from 1938, captures the transition of a frontier wilderness into a managed national preserve. While much of the terrain is defined by massive glacial troughs like Kintla Lake, Bowman Lake, and Logging Lake, the human footprint is visible in scattered homesteads and outposts. Isolated sites such as Brille Ranch, Cummings Ranch, and the Theo Christensen Ranch appear alongside the settlement at Polebridge. The map also details early administrative infrastructure, including several Ranger Sta locations and a network of trails revised by the National Park Service. The northern border is firmly established by the United States Dominion Of Canada line, which follows the jagged crests of the boundary mountains.
