About this map

Flathead National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in the late 1950s, defined by the drainage basins of the Middle Fork Flathead River and its numerous tributaries. The map reveals an era of back-country management and early wilderness access, centered on significant peaks like Red Plume Mountain and the distinctively named Slippery Bill Mountain. A primary point of human presence is the Challenge Cabin, located near the headwaters of Challenge Creek and Morrison Creek.
