1962 Map of Butts Creek Point

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Butts Creek Point Lookout stands at the head of a complex drainage system within the Salmon National Forest, overlooking the deep river canyons of central Idaho. During this early 1960s survey, the area is defined by its dramatic elevation changes and the confluence of powerful waterways. The Salmon River cuts through the northern portion of the map, passing Cunningham Bar and Cache Bar, while the Middle Fork Salmon River flows through the southeast corner near Hancock Rapids. Remote forest infrastructure is evident in the presence of Nolan Lookout and an abandoned airstrip near West Fork Bulls Creek. The landscape is etched with numerous named tributaries such as Kitchen Creek and Proctor Creek, reflecting a wilderness primarily accessed by river and ridge-top lookouts before the era of modern development.
