About this map

Clearwater National Forest dominates this 1969 survey, revealing a landscape defined by industrial logging and high mountain peaks. The map details the remote reaches of the Idaho backcountry, where the legacies of forestry operations are visible in the names of Camp 10 Meadow and Camp 60. A prominent Railroad Grade snakes along the eastern edge near Tepee Creek, tracing the path of former timber transport through the steep terrain.

Central to the topography is Browns Rock and its associated Browns Rock Saddle, while a Lookout Tower sits atop Elk Mountain, providing a strategic vantage point for fire management. Isolated structures like Washington Cabin highlight the sparse human footprint in this wilderness, while an extensive network of waterways, including Washington Creek and Beaver Creek, drain the slopes of Deadhorse Mountain.
