1966 Map of White Sand Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness dominates this mid-1960s survey, straddling the high divide between the Clearwater National Forest in Idaho and the Bitterroot National Forest in Montana. This high-altitude landscape is defined by the Idaho Montana State Line, where the remote wilderness boundary follows the sharp crests of the Bitterroot Mountains. A Lookout Tower sits atop a high point on Dan Ridge, overlooking a network of alpine basins including Dan Lake and Dodge Lake. The absence of roads highlights the era's reliance on the Maud Creek Trail and various unnamed Pack Trails for navigation through the drainage systems of White Sand Creek and Bear Creek. Numerous glacial tarns such as White Sand Lake, Parachute Lake, and the Two Lakes are scattered throughout the granite basins, providing a clear record of the area's geological and hydrographic character.
