1965 Map of Browns Lake

About this map

The Blackfoot River and its North Fork dominate this mid-century landscape in Powell County, following a winding course through the Nevada Valley. The 1961 aerial photography and 1965 field checking record a region defined by its water and agricultural infrastructure, including the Kleinschmidt Flat and the prominent Browns Lake with its lakeshore Campground. The map details the rural character of the area through features like the Raymond Bridge crossing and the confluence of several tributaries, including Wales Creek, Nevada Creek, and McElwain Creek. Small settlements and named locations such as Yourname and Frazier appear alongside resource extraction sites like the Gravel Pits near Kleinschmidt Lake, providing a clear view of the valley's mid-1960s land use and local geography.
