About this map

Kootenai National Forest and Lolo National Forest converge in this high-elevation mountain terrain near the boundary of Flathead and Sanders Counties. The landscape is dominated by the prominence of Meadow Peak, where the Meadow Peak Lookout stands as a focal point for fire surveillance over the surrounding timberlands. Water systems define the lower elevations, including the significant expanse of Mc Gregor Lake and the winding course of the Thompson River.

Social and industrial infrastructure is visible through the presence of the Thompson River School and a Gravel Pit near the lake's western edge. The map captures the administrative organization of the era, highlighting the Fisher River Ranger District and Plains Ranger District. Transportation is largely restricted to forest routes and trails, such as the Barium Summer Creek Trail, reflecting the area's primary use for forest management and resource protection in the late twentieth century.
