1956 Map of Hamilton

The historic Lolo Trail and the route through Lolo Pass highlight the enduring importance of mountain passages connecting Montana and Idaho. The map captures the remote character of the high country, marked by numerous lookout towers and peaks like Saint Joseph Peak and Rhodes Peak. Along the western margin, the eastern edge of the Nez Perce Indian Reservation is visible near Weippe, while Fort Missoula stands as a notable landmark near the junction of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and Northern Pacific rails.
