From The Flathead Story, 1964 In addition to the 950,000-acre Bob Marshall Wilderness and the
75,000-acre Mission Mountains Primitive Area, there is another scenic,
road-less area in the Flathead National Forest. Local conservation
leaders have proposed that about 15,000 acres on the eastern slope of
the Swan Range, in the vicinity of the headwaters of Graves Creek, be
classified as a wilderness.
Known as the Jewel Basin Area, it contains more than thirty mountain
lakes. The largest lake is 45 to 50 acres in size. Flathead National
Forest officials are planning to classify the area as the Jewel Basin
Scenic Area. With further study, it will be considered for eventual
wilderness classification, as part of the National Wilderness
Preservation System.
