1964 Map of West Glacier

Moving away from the water, the landscape rises sharply toward prominent summits like Desert Mountain, which is capped by a Lookout Tower, and Great Bear Mountain. Numerous trails, including the Boundary Trail and the Ousel Peak Trail (Back), navigate the drainages of Lincoln Creek and Deerlick Creek. The map documents a rugged interior of high ridges such as Emery Ridge and isolated peaks, reflecting a wilderness managed for both conservation and timber at the mid-century.
