About this map

Lake Sherburne dominates this high-altitude landscape where the mountainous peaks of the Lewis Range meet the edge of the plains. This 1968 field-checked survey highlights the interface between Glacier National Park and the Blackfeet Indian Reservation Boundary, which runs along the northeast corner of the sheet. The terrain is defined by dramatic vertical relief, from the depths of Swiftcurrent Creek to the heights of Wynn Mountain and East Flattop Mountain.

Logistics of the era are visible at the Many Glacier Entrance Sta and the Glacier Route Three, which skirts the northern shore of the lake. Backcountry access is documented through the Redgap Pass Trail and Cracker Creek Trail, providing a detailed view of the hiking and pack routes used before many modern infrastructure changes. Named points like Appekunny Flat and Cassidy Curve offer specific markers for those tracing historical park management and early tourism geography.
