1966 Map of Upper Whitefish Lake

About this map

The Flathead Whitefish Range and its network of peaks and drainages dominate this mid-century survey of the Montana high country. Central to the landscape is Upper Whitefish Lake, a high-altitude water body positioned between the Stillwater State Forest to the west and the Flathead National Forest to the east. The map captures a wilderness area defined by significant topographic landmarks including Diamond Pk, Antice Point, and Haines Pass. Numerous Pack Trails wind through the mountainous terrain, tracing the paths of Hay Creek, Coal Creek, and Antice Creek. These routes, along with features like Stryker Ridge and Coal Ridge, reflect the region's historical reliance on rugged trails for resource management and back-country access prior to the development of modern road networks.
