1938 Map of Headquarters

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Headquarters serves as the focal point for this section of the Clearwater National Forest in the late 1930s, acting as a vital operational hub. The landscape is defined by its industrial and protective infrastructure, specifically the Clearwater Timber Protective Association Headquarters and several strategic fire watchpoints like Riverview Lookout and John Lewis Lookout. The timber-driven economy is evident through the string of railroad features following the terrain, including Murphy Siding, Alan Siding, and Cardiff Spur. To the west, the map documents the area's mineral interests with the Democrat Mine and Crawford Mine located near Democrat Mtn. This network of sidings and spurs reveals how logging and mining interests penetrated the drainage basins of North Fork Clearwater River and Orofino Creek prior to the mid-century expansion of permanent road systems.
