1962 Map of Bear Creek Point

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Bear Creek Point rises as a central landmark in this 1962 field-checked survey of the Idaho backcountry. The landscape is defined by the convergence of major wilderness tracts, with the National Forest Boundary separating the Salmon National Forest from the Boise National Forest in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The drainage patterns are intricate, characterized by the Middle Fk Salmon R along the eastern edge and a complex network of tributaries such as Sheep Creek and South Fork Brush Creek. This era of mapping shows the region prior to further modern designations, focusing on the natural topography and the primitive trail system. Researchers can trace the steep gulches and named peaks, including the uniquely titled Countess Gulch and Horn Creek, which provide insights into early naming conventions in Valley Co.
