About this map

Ward Lode Mine sits at the high-elevation divide where the borders of Missoula and Ravalli Counties meet the Montana-Idaho state line. This mid-1960s survey captures a landscape defined by its administrative and natural boundaries, where the Lolo, Bitterroot, and Clearwater National Forests converge. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including the South Fork of Lolo Creek, Dick Creek, and Brushy Fork, alongside high alpine features like Marys Pond and Pyramid Buttes.

Resource extraction and backcountry access are represented by the Ward Lode Mine and a system of primitive routes such as the Sally Ridge Trail and Pack Trail. The southern portion of the sheet transitions into the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, where the lack of roads emphasizes the primitive character of the landscape. High-elevation lakes including Duffy Lake, Mills Lake, and Holloway Lake are clustered near the eastern wilderness boundary, illustrating the drainage patterns that feed the surrounding river systems.
