1965 Map of Hoodoo Pass

About this map

The high mountain border between Shoshone and Clearwater counties in Idaho, and the state line with Montana, is defined by the high elevations of the Clearwater Mountains in this 1965 survey. Hoodoo Pass serves as a critical navigation point along the Montana-Idaho border, flanked by the sprawling Lolo National Forest and Clearwater National Forest. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of ridgelines, including Long Ridge and Goose Ridge, which channel drainage into the North Fork Clearwater River and its numerous tributaries such as Slate Creek and Long Creek. While primarily remote wilderness, the map documents the historical infrastructure of the Mineral Co Pack Trail and the presence of a Radio Tower near Hoodoo Meadows, indicating early communication and forest management activity in this high-altitude terrain.
