1936 Map of Silvertip

About this map

The South Fork Flathead River carves through this remote wilderness in the 1930s, anchored by a series of back-country administrative sites including the Spotted Bear Ranger Sta and the Big Prairie Ranger Sta. This survey reflects the early infrastructure of the Flathead National Forest, where isolated outposts like Black Bear Guard Sta and Limestone Cabin were connected by trail systems and small aircraft clearings such as the Black Bear Landing Field. The landscape is dominated by high peaks and water bodies, from the expanse of Big Salmon Lake to the high-elevation Trilobite Lakes. Names like Indian Camp and Murphy Cabin provide a record of early occupancy and travel routes through the complex terrain of the Flathead and Powell County lines before modern access paths were established.
