1963 Map of Bayhorse Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Challis National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in central Idaho, revealing a rugged wilderness defined by steep drainages and early territorial markers. The survey captures the remnants of former routes and habitations, most notably the Tollgate Ruins along Mill Creek and the Bruno Cabin Ruins near Garden Gulch Creek. These sites, along with the Cow Camp in Juliette Basin, point to a history of early transit and seasonal livestock grazing in the mountains west of the Salmon River. High-elevation water bodies like Bayhorse Lake, Little Bayhorse Lake, and Buster Lake provide the primary landmarks for the area. The presence of several Jeep Trails and footpaths such as Trealor Trail suggests this was a landscape transitional between early resource extraction and the mid-century rise of mountain recreation at sites like Bayhorse Campground and Mill Creek Campground.
