1963 Map of Black Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Salmon National Forest and Challis National Forest dominate this high-altitude landscape in central Idaho, where the boundary between Lemhi Co and Custer Co snakes through deep canyons and over prominent peaks. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Black Mtn and Woods Peak, with drainages like Panther Creek and Morgan Creek carving the terrain. Human presence is sparse, limited to remote sites like the Oyler Ranch and a network of primitive routes, including a Jeep Trail along Alder Creek. The map documents a classic wilderness environment before modern expansion, where seasonal drainages like Annie Rooney Creek and Arrastra Creek provided the only landmarks for travelers. Named features like Van Horn Peak and the secluded Cougar Lake highlight the isolation of this region during the mid-twentieth century.
