1966 Map of Indian Postoffice

About this map

Indian Postoffice serves as a prominent landmark on this mid-century survey of the Clearwater National Forest, where the boundary between Clearwater County and Idaho County follows the high ridgelines. The landscape is defined by its early transit corridors, specifically the historic Lolo Trail and the Pack Trail that traverse Lunde Ridge. These routes connect remote outposts like Bears Oil and Roots Camp and Lonesome Cove Camp, reflecting a period of wilderness management and seasonal occupancy. The presence of Rock Cairns near the post office site suggests long-standing human navigation through this high-country terrain. Hydrological features like Cayuse Creek and the small Indian Postoffice Lake punctuate the heavily forested slopes, while the Postoffice Trail provides a secondary link through the drainage toward Deep Saddle.
