1966 Map of Miller Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Kootenai National Forest and Kaniksu National Forest dominate this mid-1960s survey of the mountain divide between Lincoln and Sanders counties. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems and high peaks, with Miller Lake and Sylvan Lake serving as focal points in the eastern section along East Fisher Creek. The ruggedness of the terrain is reflected in the network of historic routes, specifically the Himes Pack Trail and Blacktail Trail, which provided access through high-elevation gaps like Himes Pass and Willow Creek Pass. To the south, the terrain drops toward the Vermilion River, where narrow gulches such as Moose Gulch and Little Joe Gulch drain the slopes of Moose Peak. This map illustrates the intersection of two major national forests in a region shaped by timber management and remote wilderness access before modern road developments became widespread.
