About this map

Clearwater National Forest dominates this 1960s terrain, revealing a landscape defined by forestry and high-country exploration. Remote outposts like Camp 60 Lodge and the Washington Cabin are connected by a network of trails and an Old Railroad Grade that winds through the eastern ridges. The topography is anchored by prominent elevations including Deadhorse Mountain and Elk Mountain, where a Lookout Tower provides a strategic vantage point over the timberline.

Several drainages, such as Washington Creek and Beaver Creek, carve through the forest, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped local logging and transit routes. The presence of a Gravel Pit and established camps like Camp 10 Meadow point to the active management and resource extraction characteristic of this Idaho backcountry during the mid-20th century. For historians of the Pacific Northwest, these details offer a clear record of forest service infrastructure and early mountain access.
