1964 Map of Shroder Creek

About this map

Kootenai National Forest and Lolo National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape of northwest Montana, where the Sanders Co Flathead Co line bisects the territory. The Thompson River dominates the western corridor, its course winding through a narrow valley that separates the forest lands. This mid-1960s study captures the area's reliance on a network of high-country access routes, primarily the numerous Pack Trails that thread through the steep drainages of Shroder Creek and Murr Creek. Prominent summits like Bar Z Peak and North Peak serve as topographical anchors for this remote timberland. The map provides an essential record of the wilderness boundary and drainage systems before modern road development further altered the forest's primitive character.
