About this map

The Lolo National Forest dominates this mid-1960s landscape, where the Grave Creek Range and Lolo Range converge. This area of Missoula County is defined by its drainage systems, with Lolo Creek serving as the primary corridor for human activity along the southern edge. The small cluster of infrastructure near the Woodman Sch and the winding Woodman Road suggests a pocket of rural settlement amid the steep terrain of the Bitterroot Mountains.

Evidence of early exploration and resource management appears in the form of a Prospect located near Sheldon Creek, while higher elevations are marked by landmarks like Telephone Butte. The map details a transition between heavy timber and open spaces like Preston Meadows, connected by a network of primitive access routes including a Pack Trail and Jeep Trail, illustrating how the forest was navigated and utilized before modern highway expansion.
