About this map

Fishtrap Creek and its many tributaries carve through the heart of the Lolo National Forest and Kaniksu National Forest in this mid-1960s survey. The landscape is defined by its drainages and high points, from the waters of Upper Fishtrap Lake and Story Lake to prominent summits like Wee Peak, Benson Peak, and Lone Tree Peak.

Administrative and recreational footprints are visible at the Fishtrap Work Center and nearby Fishtrap Campground. To the south, the Thompson River flows near the Marmot Peak Trail and a Heliport, indicating the area's role in forest management and backcountry access. Local-history interest points include the Beatrice area and named landmarks like Two Trees Point and Whiteface, which mark the topography of this corner of Sanders County.
