1966 Map of Saddle Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Saddle Mtn and the surrounding high-country terrain of the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness dominate this mid-century survey, which details the high ridgelines separating the Nez Perce National Forest and Bitterroot National Forest. This high alpine environment is characterized by steep glacial cirques containing Battle Lake and Granite Lake, with numerous drainages like Wahoo Creek and Chute Creek carving deep into the mountainside. The map traces the historical Idaho-Montana state line as it follows the divide through Lost Horse Pass and Wahoo Pass. The absence of roads emphasizes the area's status as a protected wilderness, where movement was restricted to a network of a Pack Trail and other footpaths. Key topographical landmarks such as Goat Heaven Peaks and Big Creek Point define the northern and central sections, providing essential navigation points for early forest rangers and wilderness travelers.
