1965 Map of Sunburst Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Sunburst Lake sits at the heart of this high-elevation survey, illustrating the untouched backcountry of the Flathead National Forest during the mid-1960s. The landscape is defined by the sharp divide of the Wilderness Boundary and the county line between Flathead and Lake counties. To the east, the Bob Marshall Wilderness contains a dense network of watercourses, including Trickle Creek and Stadium Creek, which flow from peaks like Oreamnos Peak and Stadium Peak. The area is accessible only by a system of Pack Trails, such as the one crossing Lion Creek Pass. This topography highlights the transition from the alpine waters of Palisade Lake to the lower drainages of Little Salmon Creek, reflecting a period focused on preserving these primitive areas for recreational and ecological value.
