1970 Map of Slategoat Mountain

About this map

Continental Divide crests through this high-altitude landscape where Flathead National Forest meets the Lewis and Clark National Forest. The 1970 field check documents a wilderness area dominated by the towering Chinese Wall and the Bob Marshall Wilderness. This survey highlights the complex drainage patterns of the West Fork Sun River and its tributaries like Alice Creek and Chinese Fork. Remote administrative points such as the Rock Creek Guard Sta and crossings at Spotted Bear Pass reveal the primitive infrastructure required to manage the Sun River Game Preserve. The topography is defined by prominent peaks including Slategoat Mtn and Redhead Peak, connected by a network of footpaths like the Chinese Wall Trail.
