1994 Map of Rhodes Peak

About this map

Rhodes Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Idaho and Montana, where the Clearwater National Forest meets the Lolo National Forest. The map documents a rugged drainage system defined by Kelly Creek and its various forks, with elevations rising sharply toward the Williams Range. Human activity is concentrated in the southern reaches, where evidence of prospecting is clear near Blacklead Mtn. In this sector, markers for Mines and the Black Lead site appear alongside a recorded Grave, suggesting the difficult conditions of early mountain exploration. High basins hold remote water bodies like Smokey Lake and Goat Lake, while landmarks such as Kellys Finger and Kellys Sister orient travelers. The division between the Ninemile Ranger District and Powell Ranger District further structures this backcountry terrain.
