1966 Map of Toboggan Ridge

About this map

Kelly Creek carves a deep path through this interior portion of the Clearwater National Forest, a landscape defined by sharp divides and named high points. Surveyed in the mid-1960s, the terrain is marked by the eponymous Toboggan Ridge and the nearby Toboggan Hill. This area is characterized by its drainage network, where numerous tributaries like Kodiak Creek, Bear Creek, and Cub Creek flow from the surrounding heights toward the main valley. The map reveals a reliance on a primitive transportation network of Pack Trails that navigate the ridges and basins, such as the path through Hanson Meadows. Distinctive landmarks like Kellys Thumb and Kellys Sister serve as navigational anchors within this backcountry, which remains largely untouched by modern road development during this era.
