1966 Map of Watchtower Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Watchtower Peak and Indian Hill anchor this high-elevation landscape along the border of Idaho and Montana during the mid-1960s. Located within the Bitterroot National Forest, the region is defined by deep drainages and sharp ridgelines, including Cooper Point and the steep descent of Saddle Gulch. The map illustrates a primitive transportation network consisting of several pack trails that navigate the slopes of the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness. These paths connect the high country to remote water systems like North Fork Sheephead Creek and Indian Creek. The topographical detail reveals a wilderness area largely untouched by modern road development, where movement was dictated by the natural flow of Peach Creek and other mountain tributaries. This survey captures the jurisdictional meeting point of Idaho County and Ravalli County in an era of preserved natural seclusion.
