1966 Map of Liz Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Clearwater National Forest dominates this mid-1960s survey, revealing a landscape defined by high ridges and a complex system of drainage creeks. The terrain is marked by significant elevations such as Liz Butte and Sherman Peak, which served as critical vantage points for forestry and fire management, evidenced by the Lookout Liz Butte station. An intricate network of Pack Trails provides the primary means of traversal through these steep slopes, connecting remote features like Sherman Saddle and the curiously named No-see-um Meadows. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the terrain drops toward the Lochsa River corridor, while the north is defined by the prominent Weitas Ridge. This map illustrates the primitive infrastructure of the national forest system before modern road development, where access relied on seasonal trails and topographic landmarks like Chimney Butte and Bald Mountain.
