About this map

Tally Lake dominates the central portion of this landscape, its western shores flanked by the Tally Lake Ranger Station and a nearby Tally Lake Campground. The area is defined by the management of the Flathead National Forest and Stillwater State Forest, where the terrain transitions from the deep cut of Stovepipe Canyon to the high elevations of Tally Mountain. The northeastern corner is marked by the small settlement of Lupfer and the transit corridor of the Great Northern railroad.

Water systems define the local geography, with the Stillwater River and Logan Creek carving through a series of distinctive openings including Round Meadow, Long Meadow, and Birch Meadow. These clearings, along with small alpine bodies like Chinook Lake and Fish Lake, illustrate a wilderness environment managed for both timber and recreation in the early 1960s. The map also records early industrial activity at a Gravel Pit near the northern boundary.
