About this map

The Crags dominate the central landscape of this 1966 survey, a high-altitude region of the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness where the Clearwater National Forest meets the Nez Perce National Forest. This interior reach of the Idaho wilderness is defined by its collection of alpine water bodies, including Lizard Lakes, Crystal Lake, and Florence Lake. The map reveals a complex network of glacial cirques and ridge-top routes, such as the Old Man Pack Trail, which provided essential access through the high country before the era of modern road development.

Prominent summits like Fenn Mtn and Stanley Butte serve as anchor points for the surrounding terrain. The survey captures the delicate balance of the environment in the mid-1960s, showing the expansive Old Man Meadows and Canteen Meadows situated between high peaks and the drainages of Rhoda Creek and Three Links Creek. This record preserves the location of remote landmarks like Jesse Pass and Big Fog Mtn during a period of significant wilderness conservation.
