1981 Map of John Lewis Mountain

About this map

Dworshak Reservoir dominates the western edge of this 1980s landscape, where the North Fork Clearwater River meets a complex network of drainages. This period captures the region during a time of active resource management and forest utility, as evidenced by the presence of Evans Airstrip and numerous quarry and borrow pit sites. The terrain is defined by prominent high points like John Lewis Mtn and Bear Butte, linked by topographic features such as Harris Ridge and Griner Saddle. Small-scale human activity is visible at Old Camp B and Riverview Point, tucked away from the main water bodies. The intricate drainage system including Fiftynine Meadow Creek and Lightning Creek highlights the remote nature of the Clearwater area before significant modern development, preserving the local landmarks used by generations of woodsmen and researchers.
