About this map

The Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail follows a high, winding route through this mountain landscape, mirroring the historic passage of explorers across the Beaver Ridge divide. This 1994 revision shows the area as a preserved wilderness and forest interior, where human presence is largely limited to backcountry stations like the Roundtop Lookout and primitive stopping points such as Glade Creek Camp and 21 Mile Camp.

The hydrography is dominated by the westward-flowing headwaters of the Crooked Fork and Brushy Fork, which drain the steep slopes of the Clearwater National Forest. To the south, an Indefinite Boundary marks the transition into the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness, where the terrain drops toward Beaver Creek. The map documents a landscape defined by its primitive trails and the preservation of the historic Clark route over the high ridges.
