1964 Map of Rocky Point

About this map

The Lochsa River valley serves as the central corridor for this mid-1960s survey within the Clearwater National Forest. The landscape is defined by the convergence of major waterways, including White Sand Creek and Crooked Fork, which supported a growing recreational and administrative presence. Key hubs like the Powell Ranger Station and Lochsa Lodge are documented near the water's edge, alongside facilities like White Sand Campground and Powell Campground. Beyond the valley floor, the terrain rises sharply toward named peaks and ridges such as Rocky Point, Parachute Hill, and the high pass at Papoose Saddle. This map records the integration of forest service infrastructure with local landmarks like Star Meadows and the Cedar Grove Picnic Area at a time when the area's timber and recreational value were being formalized.
