1968 Map of Big Table Mountain

About this map

Big Table Mountain and the Little Table Mountain plateau dominate this high-altitude landscape along the Montana-Idaho border. This survey, completed in the late 1960s, reveals a remote ranching and forestry environment where the Continental Divide separates the Centennial Valley to the north from the Targhee National Forest to the south. Human activity is concentrated around Jones Ranch and the Price Peet Road, while the higher elevations are marked by seasonal water sources like Mule Meadows Spring and Rock Spring. The map documents the intricate hydrology of the region, from the northern flow of Peet Creek to the headwaters of East Camas Creek. Evidence of local industry is sparse, limited to a Gravel Pit near the ranch, emphasizing the area's primary use for open-range grazing and timber management.
