About this map

The Apgar Mountains dominate this 1966 topographic survey of northwestern Montana, where the rugged terrain of Glacier National Park meets the Flathead National Forest. High-elevation landmarks like the Apgar Lookout and the Camas Creek Overlook provide vantage points over a landscape defined by seasonal waters and steep ridges. The map details essential backcountry infrastructure, including the Glacier Route Eight, the Howe Lake Trail, and the Aqueduct near the southern boundary.

Water plays a central role in the area's geography, with the North Fork of the Flathead River winding along the western edge and McDonald Creek passing near the Quarter Circle Bridge to the southeast. Local history is etched into the landscape through named features like McGee Meadow, Howe Lake, and Rubideau Spring, reflecting the early exploration and administrative history of this protected wilderness area.
