1963 Map of Skillet Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Kootenai National Forest and the Flathead Nat. Forest dominate this high-country landscape in Lincoln and Flathead counties. The topography is defined by the steep slopes of Skillet Mountain and Swamp Mountain, where a complex network of drainage basins feeds into Fortine Creek and its many tributaries, including White Creek and Twin Meadows Creek. The map documents the vital infrastructure of the era, notably the Burlington Northern railroad line that cuts through the center of the sheet, featuring a marked Tunnel Entrance. Evidence of Forest Service operations is clear at the Twin Meadows Guard Sta, while a Pack Trail and several unpaved routes provide access through the dense woodland. This 1983 photorevision incorporates 1960s photogrammetric data, capturing the transition of the regional timber and rail economy before modern shifts in land management.
