1964 Map of Ranger Peak

About this map

Beaver Ridge and the high peaks of the Bitterroot National Forest dominate this mid-1960s survey of the high country along the Idaho-Montana border. This region, primarily contained within the Clearwater National Forest and the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness, is defined by its network of high-altitude water bodies and drainage basins. Remote alpine waters including Ranger Lake, Siah Lake, Beaver Lake, and the Rudd-Moore Lakes are scattered across the landscape, feeding tributaries like Storm Creek and Brushy Fork. A singular Pack Trail winds through the terrain, illustrating the limited accessibility of this wilderness area before modern developments. The map records the Indefinite Boundary and the dividing line between Idaho Co and Ravalli Co, marking the crest of the range at Ranger Peak.
