About this map

Jeanette Mtn stands as a central high point in this 1966 topographic study, marking a landscape defined by the overlapping boundaries of the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, Clearwater National Forest, and Nezperce National Forest. The geography is characterized by high alpine basins and several small, high-elevation water bodies, including Jeanette Lake, Corky Lake, and Hidden Lake.

Transport through this high country in the mid-1960s relied entirely on a network of pack trails, reflecting the area's designation as a primitive wilderness. Significant landmarks such as Goat Heaven Peaks and Diablo Mtn rise above the drainage of Moose Creek, while seasonal features like Horse Heaven Meadows and the cascade at Moose Falls highlight the untouched hydrological patterns of the Bitterroot Range. This survey captures the region just as federal wilderness protections were being formalized, preserving the nomenclature of landmarks like Footstool Point and Dead Elk Point.
