North Fork Road
Location: North Fork drainage, Fish Creek to Kintla Lake, Glacier NP, West Glacier, Montana Coordinates: 48°32′53″N 113°59′11″W / 48.54806°N 113.98639°WCoordinates: 48°32′53″N 113°59′11″W / 48.54806°N 113.98639°W Architect: NPS Landscape Division Architectural style: No Style Listed Governing body: National Park Service MPS: Glacier National Park MPS NRHP Reference#: 95001572 Added to NRHP: January 19, 1996[1] The North Fork Road in Glacier National Park was built in 1901. The Butte Oil Company constructed a rough wagon road from Lake McDonald to its oil well at Kintla Lake, encouraging the development of the North Fork region. From 1935-1945, the National Park Service developed the road adding culverts and drains. The unpaved road extends nearly forty miles, almost to the Canadian border.[2]
In 1933 a proposal was advanced to extend the road to Canada to connect with a proposed road on the Canadian side of the border that would create a loop around Glacier and Waterton Lakes National Park. No further action was taken, and by the 1950s the plan had been abandoned.[3]
