1963 Map of Newton Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Yaak River flows through the steep terrain of the Kootenai National Forest in this 1963 survey of northwestern Montana. This landscape is defined by its verticality and water-driven geography, with the river dropping over Yaak Falls in the southeast corner. Named peaks like Abe Lincoln Mountain, Newton Mountain, and Keystone Mountain provide essential landmarks for navigation across the high ridges. Small-scale resource extraction is evident at the Black Diamond Mine and another unnamed Mine tucked into the slopes above Pine Creek. A network of trails, including a prominent Pack Trail winding through the northern drainage of Cyclone Creek, reveals how this territory was accessed before the expansion of modern road systems, highlighting the era's reliance on established mountain passes like Windy Pass.
