1963 Map of Mount Baldy

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this topographic study of Lincoln County, defined by the sharp elevations of the Purcell Mountains. The landscape is oriented around the Yaak River, which winds through the central valley, fed by numerous tributaries including Hellroaring Creek and Sunday Creek. Human activity is concentrated along the river corridor, evidenced by the Red Top Creek Campground and a Gaging Sta downstream. High-altitude vantage points were critical for forest management during this era, noted by the Lookout Tower atop Mount Baldy. The map documents a primitive transportation network consisting of a Pack Trail that traverses the heights between Thunder Mountain and Red Top Mtn. This 1963 survey, updated with 1982 woodland data, captures the region's character as a managed wilderness where early fire-monitoring infrastructure and remote watercourses define the geography.
