1958 Map of Quintonkon

About this map

Hungry Horse Reservoir South Fork Flathead River dominates this mid-century topographic study, showing the flooded canyon of the South Fork just years after the dam's completion. The shoreline is punctuated by evidence of early management and recreation within the Flathead National Forest, including the Devils Corkscrew Campground and Peters Creek Campground. Higher elevations are defined by prominent peaks like Battery Mountain and Kah Mountain, which overlook a network of drainages such as Quintonkon Creek and Sullivan Creek. Of particular interest to local historians are the Core Drill Holes and the remote Baptiste Grave near the head of Hoke Creek. A network of Pack Trails remains the primary means of navigating the high basins, such as Silver Basin, during this era of forest administration.
