About this map

The Lochsa River winds through the heart of the Clearwater National Forest in this mid-1960s survey, providing a snapshot of the Idaho wilderness before modern development. This landscape is defined by its dramatic relief and a network of historic pathways, most notably the Lolo Trail and various Pack Trails that snake across the ridgelines. High-elevation points like Indian Grave Peak and Castle Butte, which features a Lookout Sta, overlook a series of drainages including Holly Creek and Castle Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find interest in the documented sites along these ancient routes, such as the Indian Grave Grave and Indian Grave Camp near the northern border. Recreational development is evident at the Green Flat Campground along the riverbanks, while the presence of Bald Mountain Lake tucked beneath the peak of Bald Mountain illustrates the high-country topography characteristic of the Clearwater region.
