About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this mid-1960s landscape, where the high point of Meadow Peak serves as a primary geographic anchor. A Lookout Tower atop the peak suggests the active forest management and fire surveillance era of the mid-century. Below these heights, the Thompson River and McGregor Creek carve through the terrain, with Mc Gregor Lake visible in the southeastern corner.

Infrastructure in this timber-heavy region is defined by a network of pack trails, including the Pack Trail and the Bar Z Trail, which indicate the reliance on traditional backcountry travel routes even as more modern industrial markers like a Radio Tower and Gravel Pit appear. The map also records the boundary between the Kootenai National Forest and Lolo National Forest, as well as the county line separating Flathead County from Sanders County.
