The Ford Creek Patrol Cabin in Glacier National Park was built in 1928. The National Park Service Rustic log structure is a significant resource both architecturally and historically as a network of shelters, approx. one day's travel apart, for patrolling backcountry rangers.[2]

The Ford Creek cabin was the first of four identical cabins built to National Park Service plan G913 in 1928-29 by private contractors, described as "good log men", at a total cost of $350.[3]
