1968 Map of Big Table Mountain

About this map

The Continental Divide winds across this high-country landscape, marking the rugged boundary between Montana and Idaho. In the late 1960s, this area of the Centennial Mountains remained largely undeveloped, dominated by the sprawling acreage of the Targhee National Forest and the open expanses of the Centennial Valley. The map detail reveals a high-altitude ranching and wilderness economy, centered around the Jones Ranch and the specialized infrastructure of the Price Peet Road. A complex drainage system feeds into Peet Creek, Bean Creek, and Bear Creek, while prominent geological landmarks like Big Table Mountain and Little Table Mountain provide natural navigational points. The survey also captures specific local divides such as the Price-Peet Divide and Pete Creek Divide, which define the hydrological character of this remote border region.
