About this map

The Kootenai National Forest dominates this mid-1960s survey, revealing a landscape defined by sharp peaks and the infrastructure of the Great Northern railroad. The railway cuts through the northern corner of the quadrangle alongside the winding course of Wolf Creek. Rising above the drainages, prominent summits including Wolf Mountain, Satire Mountain, and Rogers Mountain serve as anchor points for the forest's ridgelines.

A network of primitive routes and pack trails indicates the primary means of access during this era. The Divide Trail and various other marked (Pack) Trails traverse the slopes, connecting high-elevation points such as the Lookout Tower on Calx Mountain. Numerous drainages, including Snell Creek, Cow Creek, and Sipes Creek, carve deep valleys that shape the timbered terrain, reflecting a time when the region remained largely dedicated to forestry and wilderness management.
