1962 Map of Lion Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Lion Mountain dominates this portion of the Flathead National Forest, standing as a central landmark in a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and high-altitude drainages. In the early 1960s, this area remained largely undeveloped, characterized by a complex network of seasonal watercourses and primitive access routes. The survey reveals several prominent peaks, including Baldy Mountain and Blacktail Mountain, which overlook the headwaters of numerous creeks that flow toward the valley floor. Notable among these are Stoner Creek and Bierney Creek, which trace winding paths through the timbered terrain. A single Pack Trail serves as a primary corridor through the forest, emphasizing the remote nature of the territory. In the northeastern corner, the Great Northern rail line and the waters of Birch Creek provide the only major industrial and hydrological landmarks, marking the boundary where the wilderness meets more established transport routes.
