1964 Map of Rocky Point

About this map

Clearwater National Forest forms the backdrop for this mountain survey, which highlights the confluence of the Lochsa River and White Sand Creek. This remote Idaho territory is marked by significant forest management and early transit corridors, centered around the Powell Ranger Station and the nearby Lochsa Lodge. The map documents the historic Lolo Trail and various pack trails that crisscross the high ridges, including Parachute Trail and routes leading to Papoose Saddle. Strategic high-ground points like the Rocky Point Lookout and naming conventions such as 13 Mile Camp indicate the area's importance for fire observation and backcountry navigation. The landscape transitions from high-elevation points like Shotgun down to valley floor features such as Powell Pasture and Star Meadows, offering a view of the wilderness prior to modern road developments.
