About this map

The Indiana Mine sits deep within the high elevations of the Whitman National Forest along the border of Union and Baker Counties. This mid-1960s survey captures a landscape defined by its network of water and early resource extraction infrastructure, notably the Indiana Mine Road and the Beaver Creek Boulevard. The terrain is punctuated by high landmarks like Anthony Butte and Gorham Butte, which overlook the headwaters of the Little Grande Ronde River and Anthony Creek.

Resource management and forestry are evident through the presence of the Porcupine Guard Station and several water sources such as Three Bucket Spring and Bear Wallow Spring. A mix of Jeep Trails and Pack Trails weave through the high meadows, including Beaver Meadow and Friday Meadow, providing a detailed look at the backcountry accessibility of the era before more modern development reached these peaks.
