1965 Map of Salmon Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Clearwater River corridor defines this mid-1960s landscape, serving as a vital hydrologic link between several glacial lakes. This survey documents the intersection of the Clearwater State Forest and the Lolo National Forest, revealing a region managed for both timber and recreation. Water features dominate the terrain, from the expansive Salmon Lake with its centrally located Sourdough Island to the smaller Harpers Lake and Blanchard Lake to the south. Cultural landmarks are sparse but significant, notably the St Joseph Ch and a dedicated Campground near the lake's eastern shore, reflecting the area's development for seasonal use. The topography is shaped by the Clearwater's meandering path and the surrounding heights of Boyd Mountain and Game Ridge, while the presence of a Gravel Pit indicates local resource extraction supporting the area's road network.
