1966 Map of Vermilion Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Kaniksu National Forest and Lolo National Forest meet in this high-elevation wilderness, centered on the drainage of the Vermilion River. Surveyed in the mid-1960s, the landscape is defined by its network of pack trails, such as the Bear Creek Trail and Slide Rock Mountain Trail, which served as the primary transit routes through this roadless terrain. The topography is anchored by prominent summits including Vermilion Peak and Graves Peak, with the continental divide's influence visible in the steep canyons of Ice and Queer Creek. Significant water features like Stony Lake, Terrace Lake, and Marmot Lakes provide markers for backcountry navigation. The transition through Vermilion Pass highlights the historic movement between these two national forests during an era of intensive forest management and preservation.
