1966 Map of Spyglass Peak

About this map

Coeur d'Alene National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Shoshone County during the mid-1960s. The map centers on the heights of Spyglass Peak, where a Lookout Tower provides a vantage point over a dense network of drainages. To the northwest, the Magee Ranger Station and an adjacent Magee Landing Strip serve as the primary operational hubs for forest management, positioned near the junction of Tepee Creek and Magee Creek. The terrain is characterized by steep ridges like Grizzly Ridge and notable summits including Grassy Mountain and Halfway Peak. Evidence of mineral exploration appears in the northeast corner near Doug Creek, where several Prospects and a Gravel Pit are noted. A network of primitive routes and a Pack Trail facilitate movement through the drainage basins of Brett Creek and Miners Creek.
