1966 Map of Moose Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Selway River cuts a deep corridor through this high-country expanse, managed within the Nez Perce National Forest and the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness. The landscape is defined by its isolation and steep vertical relief, where travel is dictated by a network of Pack Trails rather than roads. Notable backcountry infrastructure includes the Moose Creek Landing Strip and a Lookout Tower positioned on Shearer Peak to monitor the dense forest. Many geographic features carry the names of early foresters or local lore, such as Tony Point, Grizzly Saddle, and Puzzle Point. The map provides a detailed view of the drainage systems that feed the Selway, including Moose Creek and Bitch Creek, which originates near Bitch Lake. This 1960s survey preserves the character of a primitive area where geographic landmarks like Moose Ridge and Wyllies Ridge were essential for navigation.
