1966 Map of Mc Connell Mtn

About this map

Mc Connell Mtn stands as a central peak in this high-altitude landscape where the Clearwater National Forest meets the Nezperce National Forest. The 1966 field survey documents a wilderness nearly untouched by permanent development, defined instead by an extensive network of Pack Trails and Trails that provided the only access through the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness. Distinctive terrain features such as Wounded Doe Ridge and Barren Ridge frame a watershed where numerous creeks, including Gypsy Creek, California Creek, and the many forks of Moose Creek, drain the high country. Natural clearings like Lost Knife Meadows and Chain Meadows offer a unique look at the mid-century wilderness character of Idaho County. This map is essential for tracing historic backcountry routes and named landmarks like California Point and Barren Hill.
