1961 Map of Barker

About this map

Barker and Hughesville sit at the heart of this mountain survey, marking a landscape defined by its mining heritage and high peaks. Situated within the Lewis and Clark National Forest, the region is characterized by steep drainages like Big Otter Creek and Little Canyon Creek that cut through the limestone terrain. The presence of the Chambers Mine, Noller Mine, and several unnamed mines near Barker Mountain point to the area's industrial past, where prospectors sought minerals in the shadows of Clendennin Mountain and Mixes Baldy. Local history is anchored by the Barker Cem, while surveyors recorded the heights of prominent landmarks such as Limestone Butte and Irene Peak. A network of Jeep Trails and Pack Trails indicates how the rugged interior remained accessible to those working the land in the early 1960s.
