1963 Map of Black Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Salmon National Forest and Challis National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape of central Idaho. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent summits including Black Mtn, Woods Peak, and Van Horn Peak, which anchor a complex drainage system flowing into Panther Creek and Morgan Creek. The presence of Arrastra Creek suggests the area's history of placer mining, as an arrastra was a primitive mill used for grinding ore. Evidence of early habitation and land use is sparse but significant, centered on the Oyler Ranch near the southeastern corner and various jeep trails that navigate the ridges. Key landmarks such as Morgan Creek Summit and Cougar Lake provide navigational points within the dense network of gulches like Smith Gulch and Hogan Gulch. The 1963 field check records the transitional forest boundaries and seasonal water sources identified as Springs throughout the range.
