1966 Map of Red Meadow Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Flathead National Forest land defines this section of the Whitefish Range, where the boundary between Flathead Co and Lincoln Co traverses high ridgelines and prominent summits. In the mid-1960s, this area was accessible primarily by a network of trails, pack trails, and a rugged jeep trail that navigated the drainages of Whale Creek and Ninko Creek. The landscape is dotted with high-elevation water bodies, including the Chain Lakes, Link Lake, and Red Meadow Lake, the latter of which features the Red Meadow Campground. Notable peaks like Nasukoin Mtn and Akinkoka Peak dominate the topography, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns for Moose Creek and Red Meadow Creek before they descend into the lower valleys. This survey captures the primitive recreational infrastructure of the era, from the falls at Whale Creek Falls to the various unnamed peaks that characterize this part of Northwest Montana.
