About this map

Hungry Horse Reservoir South Fork Flathead River dominates the central landscape of this mountain wilderness within the Flathead National Forest. This mid-century survey captures the region following the reservoir's creation, showing the flooded canyons where numerous drainages like Devils Corkscrew Creek and Baptiste Creek now meet the pool. A poignant local landmark, the Baptiste Grave, remains marked on the eastern slopes near Hoke Creek, while remote Pack Trails provide the only access through the steep terrain surrounding Battery Mountain and Prospector Mountain. Evidence of geological exploration is noted via Core Drill Holes near the reservoir's edge, reflecting the industrial interests that shaped the valley. The map serves as a record of the backcountry before modern recreation dominated, highlighting isolated spots like Devils Corkscrew Campground and Peters Creek Campground.
