1974 Map of Lick Creek

About this map

The East Fork Bitterroot River winds through a high-elevation landscape defined by the intersection of three major protected areas in the mid-1970s. This survey documents the boundary where Deerlodge National Forest and Bitterroot National Forest meet the Anaconda Pintlar Wilderness. The map illustrates a network of drainage systems, including Lick Creek, Moose Creek, and Clifford Creek, which flow through steep terrain toward the main river valley. Cultural features are sparse but significant for forest management and recreation, notably the East Fork Forest Service Station and the Martin Creek Campground. Evidence of high-country infrastructure is visible at the Lookout Tower near McCart RM 7115, while several Pack Trails provide the primary means of navigating the wilderness interior. The map also records the county line between Ravalli and Granite, crossing through the distinctive Hole in the Wall.
