1970 Map of Shaw Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The boundary between Missoula County and Powell County cuts through this high-altitude landscape within the Bob Marshall Wilderness and Flathead National Forest. This 1970 field-checked survey reveals a backcountry defined by steep peaks and drainage basins, where the Shaw Creek Guard Sta serves as a remote outpost for forest management. A sophisticated network of pack and foot trails, including the Holland Gordon Trail, connects the mountain ridges to significant alpine waters like Lena Lake, Doctor Lake, and George Lake. The topography is shaped by the headwaters of Big Salmon Creek and Shaw Creek, with the highest points at Lena Peak and Shaw Mountain providing vantage points over the Big Knife Lakes. The map documents a period before modern infrastructure reached these interior ranges, preserving the original trail routes and surveyor markers.
