About this map

The Lolo National Forest interior, documented in the early 1960s, is defined by an intricate network of drainages and mountain ridges within Missoula County. The Clark Fork cuts across the northern edge of the sheet, followed by the South Side Road, while the vast majority of the landscape remains a roadless territory of steep gulches and high points. Names like Wild Horse Point and Diamond Point indicate the prominent overlooks of this backcountry terrain.

Evidence of early access and forest management is preserved through historic routes like the Grave Creek Trail and various stretches of Pack Trail. These pathways follow the natural contours of the land, connecting water sources like Rock Creek and Deep Creek to the high ridges. The presence of Gilman and a named Corral Creek suggest localized human activity and livestock management within the national forest boundaries during this era.
