1950 Map of Blackbird Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Salmon National Forest dominates this mid-century view of the high Salmon River Mountains, where the region's mining heritage is etched into the landscape. The geography is defined by the steep drainages of Panther Creek and Big Deer Creek, which serve as the backdrop for significant extractive operations. The Blackbird Mine is a central hub of activity, supported by the Blackbird Mine Road and surrounded by other sites including the Sunshine Mine, Cobalt Mine, and Musgrove Mine. This industrial presence is contrasted by isolated homesteads and forest infrastructure, such as the Miller Ranch, Degan Ranch, and the Copper Creek Ranger Sta. High-altitude fire detection is represented by several strategic points, including the Blackbird Mtn Lookout atop Blackbird Mtn and the Gant Mtn Lookout. The settlement at Cobalt provides a rare point of habitation in this otherwise remote mining district.
