1966 Map of Red Meadow Lake

About this map

Flathead National Forest defines the high-altitude landscape of this mid-1960s survey, dominated by the peaks of the Whitefish Mountain Range. The area is characterized by a high-alpine water system, including the Chain Lakes and Red Meadow Lake, which serves as a central landmark for the surrounding Red Meadow area and its nearby Campground. Elevations reach their peak at Akinkoka Peak and Nasukoin Mtn, with the topography steeply dropping toward watercourses such as Whale Creek and its notable Whale Creek Falls. Infrastructure is limited to a network of primitive routes, including a Jeep Trail and several Pack Trails, illustrating the region's primary use for forest management and remote recreation. The boundary between Flathead Co and Lincoln Co traverses the southern ridges, marking a remote political division in the high country.
