1963 Map of Skillet Mountain

About this map

Kootenai National Forest and the Flathead Nat Forest converge along this high drainage divide in northwestern Montana. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous mountain streams, including Fortine Creek, Skillet Creek, and Stewart Creek, which carve through the elevations between Swamp Mountain and Skillet Mountain. A significant center of activity in this remote timberland is the Twin Meadows Guard Sta, situated near the confluence of Twin Meadows Creek and Zeller Creek. The mapping reveals a network of managed forest access, featuring a distinct Pack Trail and several small Gravel Pit locations used for road maintenance. This 1963 field-checked survey captures the area before modern developments, showing the specialized infrastructure of the U. S. Forest Service at Twin Meadows.
