1963 Map of Bowery Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The East Fork Salmon River carves a deep valley through this portion of Custer County, serving as the primary geographical corridor for the region. In the early 1960s, this landscape was defined by its transition between the Challis National Forest and Sawtooth National Forest. A notable human element in this otherwise wilderness-dominated area is the Landing Strip located along the riverbanks, providing essential aerial access to these remote reaches. The drainage network is dense, with numerous tributaries such as Big Boulder Creek, Little Boulder Creek, and Bowery Creek flowing from the high elevations of Red Ridge. The lack of established road infrastructure on this map highlights the area's isolation and its reliance on the river valley and small airstrips for movement and connectivity.
