About this map

The Lochsa River carves a deep path through this mid-1960s Idaho landscape, serving as the primary corridor for movement through the Clearwater National Forest. Along its northern banks, Weir Creek Hot Springs represents a notable geothermal feature near the mouth of Weir Creek. The terrain is defined by high ridgelines and peaks such as Ashpile Peak and Grave Butte, while human presence is marked by a remote Lookout Tower on Mocus Point and a small Borrow Pit near the river bend.

South of the river, the map details the primitive infrastructure within the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness. A network of a Pack Trail and other paths navigate through high-elevation clearings like Indian Meadows and Gold Meadows. This area is characterized by numerous small drainages, including Helix Creek and Sponge Creek, which feed into the larger river system, reflecting the preservation of this backcountry during the mid-twentieth century.
