1963 Map of Turner Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Turner Mountain Ski Area and its early Ski Lift infrastructure dominate the northeastern corner of this Montana landscape within the Kootenai National Forest. Surveyed in the early 1960s, the terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems like Seventeenmile Creek and Quartz Creek that separate prominent peaks. Human activity is primarily limited to resource management and recreation, evidenced by a Lookout Tower atop Quartz Mountain and the established Campground on the shores of Loon Lake. The map preserves the footprint of older wilderness access routes, including the Ransome Pack Trail and various other pack trails that thread through the high country past China Lake and La Foe Lake. This document captures the intersection of traditional forest use and the developing winter sports industry in Lincoln County before modern road expansion.
