1966 Map of Vermilion Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Nezperce National Forest and the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness dominate this high-elevation landscape as it appeared in the mid-1960s. The area is defined by a dense network of mountain drainage systems, where Meadow Creek and its many tributaries, including Disgrace Creek and Shake Creek, carve through the steep terrain. Human presence is minimal, centered primarily on the Meadow Creek Work Center in the southwestern corner. The map reveals an extensive system of backcountry infrastructure, with the National Recreation Trail and various routes like the Boundary Pack Trail providing the only access across high points such as Vermilion Peak and Copper Ridge. These trails follow natural lines between landmarks like Little Copper Butte and Drake Saddle, illustrating how the forest was managed and navigated before modern motorized access became a standard in such protected wilderness areas.
