1966 Map of Hemlock Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Clearwater National Forest land dominates this mid-1960s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by industrial extraction and high-altitude terrain. The presence of the Pistol Grip Mine, Red Cloud Mine, and Pioneer Mine points to the area's mineral prospects, while a network of pack trails serves as the primary infrastructure for traversing the steep ridges and gulches. Named for the prominent Hemlock Butte and its adjacent Hemlock Creek, the topography is carved by a complex drainage system including the Musselshell and Orofino watersheds. Evidence of human activity is clustered along these watercourses and ridgelines, from the Belle Creek Campground to the high passes at French Saddle and Lost Hat Saddle. This edition provides a detailed look at the border between Clearwater and Idaho counties, capturing the wilderness character of the region before modern development.
