1963 Map of Bald Mountain

About this map

Challis National Forest dominates the western half of this 1963 survey, where high-altitude landmarks like Bald Mountain and Poverty Flat define the upper elevations. The landscape is marked by the deep canyons of the Salmon River, which flows northward through the center of the sheet, joined in the south by the East Fork. This river system creates a natural corridor through the canyonlands, evidenced by a Footbridge and scattered Jeep Trails that negotiate the steep drainage basins of Rattlesnake Creek and Birch Creek.
