1979 Map of Buffalo Hump

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Mining operations and historical campsites define this high-elevation region within the Gospel-Hump Wilderness and Nez Perce National Forest. The map documents a rugged legacy of extraction, centered around the prominent peak of Buffalo Hump. Numerous lode mines and sites like the Big Buffalo Mine, Jumbo Mine, and St Louis Mine are scattered across the slopes of Mineral Hill and Concord Hill. The presence of several former settlements, now labeled as sites, provides a record of early mountain outposts. Locations such as Humptown, Calendar, and Frogtown suggest a once-active community supported by the Atlas Mill and Jumbo Camp. This 1970s record, updated in the late 1980s, preserves the specific locations of the Mother Lode Mine and a remote Landing Strip amidst a landscape of high alpine lakes like Mirror Lake and Crescent Lake.
