1987 Map of Rocky Creek

About this map

Medicine Lodge Creek dominates this high-altitude Clark County landscape, where deep drainage systems like the South Fork Deep Creek and Rocky Creek carve through the high mountain plateaus. This 1980s USGS study, based on 1981 aerial photography, reveals a wilderness terrain primarily defined by its hydrography and elevation rather than human settlement. The presence of a prominent Trans Line and several 4wd tracks suggests this area served as a corridor for utility infrastructure and resource management. Small-scale features like the high-country Lake and the protected basin of the Hollow provide specific landmarks for those studying the remote geography of the Idaho-Montana border region during this era of modern topographic mapping.
