1968 Map of Almo

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

City of Rocks dominates this landscape, where granite spires and monoliths rise abruptly from the basin floors of the Sawtooth Mountains. This 1968 survey documents a critical junction of westward migration paths, showing the primary California Trail as it winds through Emigrant Canyon to meet the California Trail (Salt Lake Alternate). The settlement of Almo serves as the local hub within the Raft River Valley, positioned near significant trail landmarks like Register Rock and Treasure Rock. The map illustrates the transition from the high elevations of the Sawtooth National Forest, marked by peaks such as Graham Peak, down to the valley floor watered by the Raft River. This record is particularly valuable for tracing the physical path of 19th-century emigrants through the distinctive rock formations of the Albion Hills (Applegate) and Cedar Hills.
