1965 Map of Hoodoo Pass

About this map

Hoodoo Pass sits at the high-elevation divide between Idaho and Montana, serving as a primary focal point for this wilderness survey. The terrain is defined by the massive Clearwater Ridge and the deep drainage of the North Fork Clearwater River, which flows through the southwestern portion of the map. High alpine features like Hoodoo Lake and Hoodoo Meadows characterize the northeast corner, where a lone Radio Tower stands as a rare modern fixture in the backcountry. A network of historical access routes, including the Mineral Co Shoshone Co Trail and the Rawhide Trail, reflects the area's history of forest management and packing. These trails follow the high ridges and steep gulches, connecting named landmarks such as Trap Point and Short Point. The map illustrates a complex intersection of administrative boundaries within the Lolo National Forest and Clearwater National Forest.
