About this map

Salmon National Forest dominates this mid-1960s survey of Idaho's high country, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of drainage systems feeding into Carmen Creek. The map documents the intricate geography of the region, noting numerous landmarks such as Gold Star Gulch, Badger Basin, and the winding Badger Spring Gulch.

Evidence of historical passage and resource exploration is scattered throughout the terrain. Approximate locations for the Lewis and Clark routes are noted, providing a geographical reference for these foundational expeditions. Local industry and utility are marked by features like a Prospect, a Borrow Pit, and a Flowing Well located near Golway Gulch. Modern access is represented by a sparse network of tracks, including a Jeep Trail that navigates the slopes between Smout Creek and Freeman Creek.
