1960 Map of Painted Rocks Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Bitterroot National Forest and Salmon National Forest meet along the dramatic crest of the Montana-Idaho border in this 1960 field-checked survey. The landscape is defined by the West Fork of the Bitterroot River, which flows north through the narrow valley floor toward Painted Rocks Lake. This waterway serves as the primary artery for local life, supporting small mountain settlements like Alta and the Fales Flat area. Evidence of early industry and passage is scattered throughout the high country, from the Claypits in the north to the Copper Queen Mine near the southern boundary.
