1962 Map of Wood Hump

About this map

The Selway River winds through this high-elevation wilderness within the Bitterroot National Forest, where steep drainages and prominent ridges define the landscape. The peak at Wood Hump Lookout VABM 7224 stands as a central navigation point, overlooking a complex network of waterways including Wilkerson Creek, Swet Creek, and Surprise Creek. To the north, the terrain transitions at Thompson Flat, while the eastern portion of the sheet reaches the crest of Storm Ridge near the boundary of the Salmon National Forest. This 1962 field-checked survey documents a region of Idaho characterized by its absence of modern development, showing only trails and natural features like Three Lakes and Stripe Lake tucked into the high basins of Goat Ridge.
