1966 Map of Larchwood

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Kaniksu National Forest dominates this landscape in Sanders County, where the steep terrain of the Clark Fork Valley meets the waters of the Noxon Reservoir. The settlement of Larchwood sits near the shoreline, positioned between the reservoir and the peaks that rise abruptly to the south. This era shows the heavy influence of the Burlington Northern railroad, which follows the northern bank, while the interior remains a web of pack trails and remote drainages. Resource extraction is evidenced by the Ambassador Mine, located deep within the mountains near Granite Creek. The map documents a rugged topography defined by sharp summits like Beecher Peak, Woodchuck Peak, and Eightmile Peak, as well as strategic crossings like Minton Creek Pass. Numerous watercourses, including Trout Creek and White Pine Creek, carve through the forest, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that shaped local travel and early mining access.
