1968 Map of Porcupine Ridge

About this map

Waterton Lakes National Park and Glacier National Park meet at the international Canada United States border, showcasing a landscape of high-altitude lakes and dramatic crests. The map captures the remote backcountry infrastructure of the late 1960s, including the Waterton Ranger Sta and various remote outposts like the Boundary Warden Cabin and Patrol Cabin. Deep in the Waterton Valley, the Waterton River flows through the Kootenai Lakes before reaching the southern tip of Waterton Lake. High-elevation landmarks such as Shaheeya Peak and Campbell Mountain overlook narrow corridors like the Boulder Pass Trail. This document preserves the exact placement of early park amenities, from Shelter Cabins to the Porcupine Lookout, reflecting the era's foot-and-horse trail network before modern developments.
