1966 Map of Fishtrap Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Lolo National Forest and Kaniksu National Forest converge in this mid-1960s survey of the Sanders County backcountry. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Fishtrap Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Fishtrap Creek and Whiteface Creek. Human activity is concentrated around the Fishtrap Work Center and the Fishtrap Campground near the confluence of these waters, while higher elevations are marked by peaks like Benson Peak and Lone Tree Peak. The map reveals a network of primitive transportation routes, specifically the West Fork Fishtrap Trail (Pack) and the Mt Headley Marmot Peak Trail (Pack), which provided access for forestry and fire management before more modern road networks were fully established. Small-scale resource extraction is noted by a Quarry near the creek, illustrating the local materials used for maintaining these remote forest corridors.
