1965 Map of Swan Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The crest of the Mission Range and the high alpine divide of the Swan Mountains dominate this 1960s terrain, where the Bob Marshall Wilderness meets the Flathead National Forest. At the heart of the high country, Swan Peak and the nearby Swan Glaciers represent the glaciated character of this landscape before significant modern recession. The map traces a network of primitive transportation, specifically the Pack Trail systems that follow the drainage of Lion Creek and Squeezer Creek, providing insight into the historical accessibility of the backcountry for forestry and recreation. To the west, the boundaries of the Swan River State Forest indicate a landscape managed for timber and conservation, while the interior peaks like Van Peak and Union Peak remain isolated, reachable only by the rudimentary trails that navigate the steep elevation changes between alpine lakes such as Pony Lake and Cat Lake.
