About this map

North Fork Clearwater River carves a deep path through this 1963 survey of the Clearwater National Forest, defining the region's topography and early forest management infrastructure. The landscape is dominated by the Sheep Mountain Range, punctuated by high points such as Sheep Mountain, Preceptor Point, and Eagle Point, which hosts a lookout tower. Forest Service operations are central to this area, evidenced by the Canyon Ranger Station, a Heliport, and a Radio Facility located near the river's bend.

Recreational and utility features such as Aquarius Campground and various jeep trails provide access to the steep drainage basins of Isabella Creek and Little Washington Creek. The map documents the intricate network of saddles and ridges, including Swanson Saddle and Fern Ridge, that guided early travel and communication through these Idaho highlands before modern development altered the forest's primitive character.
