A Specially Annotated Topographic (Topo) Map, Intended To Further Show And Explain The Locations Of Major Points of Interest In The “Lolo Corridor”, Some Of Which Are Described In Idaho Local History Signs, Seen In The FIFTH PHOTO NEXT.
SHOWN IN /\ABOVE/\ TOPO MAP ARE THESE AS FOLLOWS =>
…A) SINGLE RED DOTS MARK => The Lewis & Clark July 1805 Expedition WESTWARD Route, which they were shown by Nez Perce Native Americans Guides, along millennia old, existing well-used trails, long used by their Tribe. …. In Eastern Idaho, this is now called the Lolo Trail, which is now also designated as ”The Nee Mee Poo National Historic Trail” (Nimiipuu Trail).
…As you see between the SINGLE RED DOTS, the this Lolo Trail, follows fairly closely the marked (faint black line) of the Lolo Motorway.
…B) SERIES OF DOUBLE RED DOTS MARK => A Portion Of The Lewis & Clark EASTWARD return September 1806 Expedition Route. They found their previous July Route blocked by deep snow, and again with Nez Perce Guides, used a Lower Elevation Route, which was further South.

……3) Right Of Center and Mid Height, see =>”WayPt = 264”, which is one of Henry Gurr’s 2002 GPS Waypoints, => Which here marks the location of “Four Local History Signs Respectively Describing Local Natural Idaho Scenery & History”. One of these signs describes how Lewis & Clark, on their return from the Pacific Ocean Coast, came through here September 16, 1805 . These four signs are shown in the FIFTH PHOTO NEXT .
