1965 Map of St Marys Lake

About this map

St Marys Lake and the high ridges of the Mission Range dominate this mid-1960s survey of the Flathead Indian Reservation border. The landscape is defined by dramatic elevation changes, where high-altitude features like Lucifer Lake and Lake of the Stars feed steep watercourses. Significant water management infrastructure is evident in the lower elevations, including the Dry Creek Aqueduct and Dry Creek Canal, which transition from the steep mountain runoff to the valley floor. High peaks such as West St Marys Peak and Kakashe Mountain frame glacial features like Fissure Glacier and Sunrise Glacier along the Garden Wall. Notable landmarks for local navigation and history include Elizabeth Falls, Mission Falls, and the Mission Reservoir, alongside several named passes such as Lone Tree Pass and Vacation Pass that mark the Divide between Lake and Missoula counties.
