1966 Map of Goddard Point

About this map

The Selway River carves a deep, winding corridor through this section of the Nez Perce National Forest, serving as the primary artery for activity in the mid-1960s. Along the river's banks, infrastructure for forest management and public service is evident, anchored by the Fenn Ranger Station and the Cedar Flats Job Corps Center. This era of federal investment in the wilderness is further illustrated by the presence of the Hara Youth Camp and the O'Hara Campground near the confluence of O'Hara Creek. Away from the water, the landscape rises sharply to prominent lookouts like Goddard Point and Peterson Point. Movement through the high country relies on an extensive network of Pack Trails, connecting remote drainages such as Hamby Fork and Swiftwater Creek. The map documents a period when the river was marked by river-mile markers like Mile 100 and Mile 105, and the administrative presence was firmly established in the back country.
