About this map

Weitas Creek serves as the central artery for this interior portion of the Clearwater National Forest during the mid-1960s. The landscape is defined by the steep elevation changes of Lean-to Ridge and prominent peaks like Johnagan Mtn and Doris Butte. Human presence in this backcountry is primarily represented by administrative and recreational infrastructure, including the Weitas Work Center and specialized outposts such as Horse Camp and Wedge Camp.

Logistics in the era before widespread road development relied heavily on the network of trails, such as the Pack Trail, and river crossings like Weitas Bridge and Packbridge. The map details the complex drainage system feeding into the main creek, with named tributaries including Larch Creek, Warm Creek, and Hemlock Creek illustrating the dense, forested terrain of the Idaho and Clearwater county line.
