1938 Map of Headquarters

USGS Topo · Published 1938

About this map

The timber-rich landscape of Clearwater National Forest dominates this 1938 survey, centered on the logging and management hub of Headquarters. The map captures a moment when resource extraction and fire prevention infrastructure were paramount, exemplified by the Clearwater Fire Protective Association Headquarters and high-elevation watchpoints like Summit Lookout and Shanghai Lookout. The industrial character of the era is evident in the string of railroad sidings such as Murphy Siding and Reveling Siding, which serviced the rugged drainage basins of the North Fork Clearwater River.
