About this map

The Lewis and Clark National Forest defines the character of this mid-1960s landscape, where high-altitude peaks and drainage networks dominate the topography. Rising above the dense contours are Black Butte, Iron Butte, and the namesake Strawberry Butte, which serve as significant landmarks for the region. The map documents the infrastructure of forest management and early recreation, noting the Calf Creek Guard Station and the Moose Creek Campground along the northern reaches of Moose Creek.

A network of primitive transportation routes, including several labeled Pack Trails and a Jeep Trail, suggests a landscape accessed primarily for timber management, fire watch, or backcountry recreation. Economic activity is hinted at by the presence of Prospects located near the headwaters of Black Butte Creek, indicating small-scale mineral exploration in the vicinity. The drainage system is particularly intricate, with Sheep Creek and Copper Creek cutting through the terrain, punctuated by high meadows such as Allan Park.
