1956 Map of Black River B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Whitefish Lake sits at the southwestern edge of this interior landscape, where the Black River meanders through an intricate system of sloughs and ponds. This 1956 field study, based on 1955 aerial photography, reveals a wilderness shaped by the hydrology of the Salmon Fork Black River in the north and the Grayling Fork Black River in the southeast. The terrain rises from these river lowlands to prominent high points like VABM Orange 2141, a triangulation station used for the survey. A distinct geological or topographical feature known as The Reef stands near the western bend of the main river, marking a sharp contrast in the local relief. The absence of roads or trails highlights the isolation of this region during the mid-20th century, where movement was dictated entirely by the watercourses.
