1968 Map of Vulture Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Glacier National Park encompasses this high-altitude landscape where the Continental Divide winds through the Livingstone Range. This 1968 field survey documents a dramatic wilderness of active ice and deep glacial basins, most notably the long stretches of Quartz Lake and Logging Lake. The map captures the presence of significant ice masses including Vulture Glacier, Two Ocean Glacier, and Rainbow Glacier before their late-century retreat. Human activity is represented by the remote Patrol Cabin near Logging Creek and a network of designated campsites connected by a Pack Trail. These features highlight the early management era of the park's backcountry, focusing on conservation and primitive access. From the summit of Vulture Peak to the sheer drops of Carnelian Cliff, the topography illustrates the extreme relief that defines the boundary between Flathead and Glacier counties.
