1963 Map of Bally Mountain

About this map

The Little Salmon River carves a central corridor through this 1963 survey, serving as the primary geographic axis between Adams and Idaho counties. The landscape transitions from the wooded slopes of the Payette National Forest into the open expanses of Meadows Valley. This area shows a pattern of ranching and early thermal recreation, notably at Hot Springs south of the river bend. To the east, the Circle C Ranch sits at the base of the ridges near Sixmile Creek, while small stopping points like Litter and Martin are positioned along the valley floor. High-elevation features like Bally Mountain and the Round Valley basin highlight the varied topography that defined the local economy of timber and grazing during the early 1960s.
