1965 Map of Sunflower Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Lolo National Forest dominates this mid-1960s landscape, where the Blackfoot River carves a winding path through the mountainous terrain of Missoula County. The valley floor is defined by the infrastructure of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which follows the river's northern bank past Johnsrud Park and through the bend at McNamara. The river itself is punctuated by named features like Rainbow Bend and Dungles Eddy, reflecting the area's importance for local recreation and transport. Higher elevations are marked by landmarks such as Sunflower Mountain and Kinneys Ridge, while the Gold Creek Guard Station signals the administrative presence of the Forest Service. The map reveals a remote but managed wilderness, with several Gravel Pit sites and forest roads like Union supporting the local timber and maintenance economies of the era.
