1964 Map of Mount Grant

About this map

The waters of the Hungry Horse Reservoir dominate the southern portion of this landscape, marking a significant engineering presence in the Flathead National Forest. Following the impoundment of the South Fork Flathead River, the map shows the shoreline at a normal pool elevation of 3560 feet, flanked by steep terrain and the Hungry Horse Road. The high alpine environment to the northeast is defined by the permanent ice of Stanton Glacier and Grant Glacier, situated beneath the peaks of Great Northern Mountain and Mount Grant. This 1964 survey captures the area’s remote character, where access is limited to primitive routes like the Pack Trail and Highline Loop Road. Numerous drainages, including Tiger Creek, Mare Creek, and Murray Creek, illustrate the complex hydrology feeding the reservoir from these high-elevation watersheds.
