1968 Map of Cache Peak

About this map

Albion Mountains high country dominates this late 1960s survey, showcasing a landscape defined by significant elevations and glacial features within the Sawtooth National Forest. The peaks of Mount Independence and Cache Peak tower over the Independence Lakes, while the western slopes descend through Slide Canyon toward the small settlement at Fairchild. This area is marked by a complex network of seasonal water sources and named springs, including Salt Lick Spring and Heath Spring, which were vital for the local livestock and forest management of the era.
