The Bighorn Crags dominate this 1982 map of Central Idaho, an area defined by its massive mountain ranges and the deeply incised canyons of the Salmon River. This landscape reflects a significant era of conservation and resource management, as the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness and Bitterroot National Forest preserve vast tracts of the Salmon River Mountains. The presence of industrial centers like Cobalt and several significant mining operations, including the Blackbird Mine and Yellowjacket Mine, highlights the historical tension between wilderness preservation and the region's extraction-based economy.
