1964 Map of Lone Lake

About this map

Flathead National Forest dominates this mid-1960s terrain, where the expansive waters of Ashley Lake meet the steep topography of the Salish Mountains. The map reveals a remote landscape where logging and early rural settlement intersect, evidenced by a Gravel Pit near the southern shore and the Mountain View Sch positioned in a small clearing west of Hodge Creek. Water management and drainage are central to the area's character, with several smaller bodies of water like Lone Lake and Lake Monroe punctuating the dense forest cover. Elevations rise significantly toward the east at Boorman Peak, while a network of drainages including McMannamy Draw and Boorman Creek carry snowmelt through the timber. This survey is particularly useful for identifying early forest access routes, including a designated Pack Trail winding through the southern sections.
