1964 Map of Blue Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Lolo National Forest dominates this mid-1960s landscape southwest of Missoula, where the high ridges of Blue Mountain and Black Mountain overlook a complex network of drainage basins. The map illustrates a transition from the industrial valley floor near the Clark Fork to the high-elevation resource extraction and management areas typical of western Montana. Of particular interest to mining historians and local researchers is the Chickaman Mine located near Chickaman Creek, while genealogists can trace family-named features like Westerman Creek, Hollensteiner Gulch, and Anderson Gulch. Settlement patterns are sparsely concentrated along Lolo Creek, where Schoolhouse Gulch suggests the historical locations of early community centers. High-elevation points like the Lookout Tower on Blue Mountain highlight the forest management infrastructure of the era, connected by a network of trails and jeep trails through Grave Creek and Deadman Gulch.
