1966 Map of Tuchuck Mountain

About this map

The Kootenai National Forest and Flathead National Forest converge at the international boundary in this 1966 field survey of the high country north of Eureka. The landscape is defined by the high-elevation divide between Lincoln and Flathead Counties, where steep drainages like Nokio Creek and Yakinikak Creek flow from the ridges. A primitive human footprint is evident in the network of labeled Pack Trails that cross Seemo Pass and connect remote outposts such as Weasel Cabin. Significant summits including Tuchuck Mountain and Mount Lewis dominate the topography, while smaller alpine features like Weasel Lake and Timothy Meadow provide specific landmarks for those navigating the backcountry. This map serves as a detailed record of the wilderness just south of the British Columbia border, capturing the drainage patterns of Seemo Creek and Kootah Creek before modern forest management altered these corridors.
