About this map

The high ridges and deep drainages of the Salmon National Forest define this area along the Idaho and Montana border. High-altitude watchpoints such as Oreana Lookout and Beartrap Lookout provide a sense of the early fire management infrastructure in this remote part of Ravalli County, Montana, and Lemhi County, Idaho. The landscape is dominated by steep summits like Tincup Hill and Long Tom Ridge, with lower elevations marked by Willow Meadow and numerous water sources including Dishpan Spring and Telephone Pole Spring.

Transport and access in this era were largely limited to specialized Forest Service routes and logging tracks. Labels such as Mining Loop Off and Spring Cr Rd indicate the specific industrial and management uses of the land. The presence of multiple named springs and small creeks like Sourdough Cr and Butte Cr highlights the intricate hydrography necessary for sustaining seasonal grazing or resource extraction in these high-mountain divides.
