1964 Map of Lolo Hot Springs

About this map

Lolo Hot Springs serves as a focal point in this high-altitude landscape where the Lolo National Forest and Clearwater National Forest meet. Surveyed in the early 1960s, the map documents the remote Bitterroot Range along the Idaho-Montana border. A distinct network of transit paths is evident, ranging from the established road leading toward Lolo Pass to more primitive Jeep Trails and traditional Pack Trails that navigate the ridges. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features including Snowshoe Falls and the convergence of the West Fork and East Fork of Lee Creek. Historical landmarks like the State Line Cabin and the Lee Creek Campground provide evidence of early forest management and recreational use. High-elevation clearings such as Elk Meadows and Packer Meadows break the dense timber of the surrounding peaks like Wagon Mountain and Rocky Peak.
