1966 Map of Selway Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Selway River cuts a deep corridor through the Nez Perce National Forest in this mid-1960s survey, revealing a landscape defined by forest management and backcountry access. At the center of the sheet, the Selway Falls Guard Station sits near a notable Fish Ladder and Tramway, infra-structure critical for navigating the river’s drop. The map documents an era of burgeoning forest recreation, shown by a string of riverside sites including Glover Campground, Selway Falls Campground, and Slims Campground. Higher elevations like Glover Ridge and Fog Mountain Saddle are connected only by a Pack Trail, emphasizing the primitive character of the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness boundary. Tributaries such as Meadow Creek and Gedney Creek drain the steep slopes, while river bars like Twentyfive Mile Bar provide rare flat ground in this vertical terrain.
