About this map

The Middle Fork Selway River carves a path through this late 20th-century topographic study, defining a landscape dominated by the Frank Church - River of No Return Wilderness and Bitterroot National Forest. The geography is characterized by prominent elevations such as Wood Hump and significant drainages including Wilkerson Creek and Burn Creek. Evidence of human presence is minimal, primarily represented by the Thompson Flat settlement area and a network of forest trails.

This 1990s revision reveals the intricate intersection of federal lands, where the Salmon National Forest meets the eastern boundary. High-elevation features like the Thirteen Lakes group and the sharp crests of Goat Ridge and Witter Ridge provide essential reference points for navigating this primitive backcountry. The map also delineates the Scenic and Wild River Boundary, reflecting the conservation priorities and resource management of the era.
