1914 Map of Nyack

About this map

Glacier National Park and the adjacent Flathead National Forest dominate this mapping of the Montana Rockies, centered on the Middle Fork Flathead River corridor. The Great Northern Railway and the Theodore Roosevelt Highway carve a vital transportation path through the mountains, connecting small outposts like Nyack PO and Walton Essex PO. The survey reveals a landscape defined by its ice and elevation, featuring the Lupfer Glacier, Stanton Glacier, and Grant Glacier along with prominent summits like Mt St Nicholas and Mt Pinchot. This edition reflects the early 20th-century administration of these lands, marking several early outposts such as the Nyack Ranger Sta and Hungry Horse Ranger Station. For researchers, the map provides a look at the primitive infrastructure of the era, including the Pioneer Ridge Trail and remote landmarks like Underwood Cabin.
