About this map

Lolo National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, where the Thompson River meets the Clark Fork in a narrow valley corridor. The mid-1960s terrain shows a landscape shaped by both extraction and infrastructure, with the Northern Pacific railroad skirting the riverbanks through small settlements like Snider and Eddy.

Mining history is concentrated in the northern reaches, where the Copper King Mine, Raven Mine, and Silver King Mine are located near the Copper King Campground. The geography is defined by steep elevation gains, rising from the river floor toward Kookoosint Ridge and the peak of Eddy Mountain. Evidence of early resource management is found at the Gaging Sta along the Thompson River, while isolated water bodies like Outlaw Lake and Quail Lake sit tucked away in the southern high country of Sanders Co.
