1962 Map of Aggipah Mtn

About this map

The Middle Fork Salmon River carves a deep path through this 1962 field-checked survey of central Idaho, marking the jagged intersection of the Salmon National Forest and the Payette National Forest. This high-altitude wilderness is defined by the sharp elevations of the Bighorn Crags and the Aggipah Mtn summit. The map documents the primitive infrastructure of the era, centered on the Stoddard Trail and the strategically placed Stoddard Creek Lookout. The river's character is evidenced by numerous named white-water features, including Ouzel Rapids, Roadside Rapids, and Porcupine Rapids. Geologic and geographic interest is concentrated around Ship Island and the headwaters of several drainages like Ship Island Creek and Waterfall Creek, showing the drainage patterns that feed into the Salmon River system.
