1966 Map of Fog Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Nezperce National Forest dominates this mid-1960s survey of the Idaho backcountry, where the Selway River cuts a deep path through the terrain. The map captures a wild landscape defined by high peaks and an extensive network of foot travel, as shown by the numerous Pack Trails that provided the only overland access through the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness Boundary. A primary vantage point for fire management and navigation is found at the Indian Hill Lookout Tower in the southwest corner. Significant topographical features like Fog Mountain, Big Fog Saddle, and Otter Butte overlook a series of drainages, including Ballinger Creek and Canteen Creek. The absence of established land lines or roads highlights the primitive nature of this region during the mid-century period, where landmarks like Moose Meadows and the Highline Lakes served as critical waypoints for those traversing the high ridges.
