1965 Map of Morrell Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Bob Marshall Wilderness and the Flathead National Forest dominate this mid-1960s landscape, illustrating a remote corridor of western Montana focused on conservation and backcountry access. The survey centers on the high elevations of Morrell Mountain and Monture Mountain, where early fire detection infrastructure is evidenced by the Morrell Lookout. This was an era before heavy motorized access in these protected lands, where travel relied on a network of historical routes like the Dunham Trail (Pack) and Lodgepole Trail (Pack). The drainage patterns of Cottonwood Creek and the North Fork define the rugged topography, flowing toward Cottonwood Lakes near the Powell and Missoula county line. The map captures the transition between wilderness and managed forest land during a period of expanding recreational interest in the American West.
