About this map

Meadow Peak and its surrounding high-altitude terrain dominate this mid-century survey of the boundary between the Kootenai National Forest and the Lolo National Forest. The landscape is defined by a dense network of backcountry access routes, including the Summer Creek Trail (Pack), Castle Rock Trail (Pack), and Bar Z Trail (Pack), reflecting the area's importance for forest management and recreational pack travel.

A notable Lookout Tower sits atop the peak, overlooking the drainage of McGregor Creek and the expanse of Mc Gregor Lake. The map records the sparse infrastructure of the era, including the Thompson River Sch near the Thompson River and the division between Flathead and Sanders counties. This documentation of the 1960s forest landscape captures the transition between traditional pack-trail navigation and more modern additions like the Radio Tower.
