1966 Map of Running Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Running Lake and the high peaks of the Nez Perce National Forest dominate this mid-century survey of Idaho's wilderness. Situated within the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, the area is defined by a network of primitive pack trails and isolated water bodies such as Bilk Lake, Fawn Lake, and Square Rock Lake. The lack of established land lines reflects the untamed nature of this interior landscape, where names like Grave Meadow and Windy Saddle suggest the early experiences of those who traversed these ridges. Significant landmarks like Grave Meadow Peak, Indian Peak, and Elk Mountain provide prominent navigational points for backcountry travelers. This map captures a landscape almost entirely devoid of modern infrastructure, with drainage systems like Marten Creek and Running Creek carving deep into the terrain. Local history and exploration are noted through names such as Matteson and Mink near the boundary lines.
