1995 Map of Mitten Lake

About this map

The Blackfeet Indian Reservation meets the northern boundary of the Lewis and Clark National Forest in this mid-1990s survey of the Montana high country. The landscape is defined by the transition from the rolling plains of the reservation into the steep ascent of Lookout Ridge. Significant water bodies like Mitten Lake and Horn Lake sit tucked within the topographical folds of the terrain, while the drainage systems of Badger Creek and Whitetail Creek carve through the foothills. A notable human landmark is the Swims Under Sch, located near the creek banks where the reservation land meets the county line. This map provides a detailed view of tribal and federal land management boundaries during the late 20th century, showing the established National Forest Boundary as it skirts the peaks and glacial lakes of the Rocky Mountain Front.
