About this map

The Lolo National Forest dominates this mid-1960s terrain, where the topography rises sharply toward Priscilla Peak and Liver Peak. A network of historic paths, labeled as Pack Trail, provides the primary means of navigating the dense drainage systems of Big Spruce Creek and Honeymoon Creek. These trails connect isolated water bodies like Honeymoon Lake to the lower elevations near the West Fork Thompson River.

Lower in the drainage, the Clark Memorial Campground sits near the river, marking a transition from the high wilderness of Sundance Ridge to accessible recreation areas. The presence of several named gulches and viewpoints, such as Sleepy Gulch and View Point, suggests a landscape used for both lookout operations and seasonal backcountry travel. The map also records a Private road segment near the river, indicating specific access rights within the forest at the time of the 1964 survey.
