1968 Map of Mount Casey

About this map

Kaniksu National Forest dominates this Idaho landscape, where high-elevation landmarks and timber-access routes define the topography of the late 1960s. The area is characterized by a network of named peaks and ridges, including the prominent Sundance Mtn and Hellroaring Ridge, which overlook a complex drainage system fed by Hellroaring Creek and Chicopee Creek. Human activity is concentrated around surveying and resource extraction, evidenced by the presence of the Caribou Lookout and a Prospect located near Keokee Mtn. A significant portion of the terrain is accessible only by Jeep Trail or foot path, highlighting the remote nature of the Schweitzer Basin and the high basins holding Caribou Lake and Colburn Lake. These trails suggest a history of forestry management and seasonal outdoor activity long before more modern developments reached these reaches of Bonner County.
