1966 Map of Richards Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Richards Peak stands as the central landmark of this mid-1960s terrain, marking the high ground within the Lolo National Forest. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, where Meadow Creek and Daisy Creek drain the western slopes while the Thompson River winds through the eastern valley. This survey captures a moment when the region was managed for both timber and conservation, split between federal lands and the Thompson River State Forest. The inclusion of a Pack Trail and a designated Lookout on the peak illustrates the era's reliance on traditional fire management and backcountry access routes. Further south, the map details the complex drainage of Fishtrap Creek and Mc Curry Creek, providing an exact record of the topography before significant modern developments altered these forest watersheds.
