1964 Map of Calico Creek

About this map

Thompson River State Forest and the Lolo National Forest dominate this landscape, showcasing a vast network of hydrologic features and rugged mountain peaks in the mid-1960s. The Thompson River serves as the primary drainage, joined by the Little Thompson River and numerous tributaries like Fishtrap Creek and Marten Creek. This area is defined by its verticality, with named heights such as Deerhorn Mountain and the McCully Ridge providing significant topographic relief. The prevalence of a Pack Trail and the absence of major developed roads suggest a territory dedicated to timber management and wilderness recreation. Small details, such as Big Spr and the curiously named Jungle terrain, offer specific points of interest for those tracing the history of Montana’s forest lands.
