1966 Map of Cable Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, which was photogrammetrically mapped in the mid-1960s with revisions following in the early 1980s. The terrain is defined by several prominent peaks, including Cable Mountain and McDonald Mountain, which tower over a network of tributary drainages. Among these are Snowshoe Creek, Big Cherry Creek, and Poorman Creek, names that suggest the area's prospecting history. Near the southeastern corner of the map, Libby Creek flows past Old Town (Site), providing a specific point of interest for those researching early mining era settlements in Lincoln County. Evidence of resource exploration is further cemented by a named Prospect located near Leigh Creek and the southern edge of the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness. The map captures the transition between high alpine ridges and the creek-bottom sites where early inhabitants established their footholds.
