About this map

Whitman National Forest dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, where the high terrain of Tamarack Mountain and Summit Ridge drops into the complex drainage systems of Clear Creek and Ladd Canyon. The map documents a mid-century transitional environment, showing the intersection of conservation and utility through features like the Glass Hill Lookout Tower and a nearby Radio Facility.

In the lower-elevation northeast, the Ladd Marsh Wildlife Management Area provides a contrast to the timbered uplands of Glass Hill. Evidence of local habitation and resource use is scattered across the meadows and ridges, marked by the Vincent Ranch and Reinecke Cabin. Transportation into the backwoods is traced by routes such as Lambert Grade and Shaw Road, while Ladd Canyon Pond serves as a notable water landmark in the central valley.
