1970 Map of Shaw Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Bob Marshall Wilderness and Flathead National Forest meet in this 1970 survey of the high backcountry along the Missoula Co Powell Co line. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of pack trails and foot trails that navigate the drainages of Salmon Creek, Shaw Creek, and Gordon Creek. Notable peaks such as Lena Peak and Shaw Mountain overlook several alpine water bodies, including Lena Lake, Koessler Lake, and the Big Knife Lakes. The isolation of the region is emphasized by the presence of the Shaw Creek Guard Sta and the absence of any improved roads. For researchers of wilderness management or environmental history, the map provides a precise record of the indefinite boundary lines and remote landmarks like Shirttail Park and Shamrock Point before modern satellite mapping.
