1965 Map of Wapiti Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Lolo National Forest dominates this mid-1960s terrain in Missoula County, where the southern boundary of the Flathead Indian Reservation crosses high alpine ridges. The landscape is defined by its glacial hydrology, featuring a chain of high-elevation water bodies including Wapiti Lake, Fly Lake, and Boulder Lake. To the south, the Mineral Peak Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over the drainage basins of Rattlesnake Creek and Gold Creek. The mapping reveals a transition from the structured Flathead Indian Reservation Boundary in the north to the primitive watershed of Farmers Lakes in the south. This era of mapping shows the wilderness before modern access increased, preserving the locations of remote meadows like Gold Creek Meadows and the headwaters of the South Fork Jocko River.
