1970 Map of Spotted Bear Mountain

About this map

Flathead National Forest and the northern edge of the Bob Marshall Wilderness dominate this high-country survey from the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Spotted Bear River and the South Fork Flathead River, a drainage system accessible only via an extensive network of historic routes. Notable primitive paths such as the Spy Mountain Trail (Pack), Schafer Trail (Pack), and Green Mtn Trail (Pack) trace the ridges and valley floors, reflecting a wilderness management era before modern road expansion.
