1965 Map of Lake Marshall

About this map

Lindbergh Lake and the surrounding high-country watersheds dominate this mid-1960s survey of the northern Rockies. The landscape is defined by the intersection of administrative and natural boundaries, most notably where the Lolo Indian Reservation Boundary meets the Flathead National Forest and Lolo National Forest. This era of land management is preserved through the network of the Pack Trail system, which provided the primary access for foresters and early recreationists through the Henry Mountains. The drainage patterns are clearly delineated, showing the headwaters of the Swan River and the Clearwater River, along with numerous alpine water bodies such as Lake Marshall and Lake Dinah. The absence of developed roads emphasizes the remote character of this region during the mid-twentieth century, as researchers can trace the historic foot and horse paths that connected West Fork Point to the surrounding basins.
