1972 Map of Cape Horn Lakes

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Marsh Creek and Beaver Creek dominate this 1970s wilderness landscape, where the Sawtooth Range meets the deep drainages of the Challis National Forest. The map documents a primitive infrastructure of Pack Trail and Jeep Trail routes, highlighting the remote character of the Valley Co Custer Co line. Along the water, recreational and monitoring sites like Lola Creek Campground and a Gaging Station reflect the mid-century management of these public lands. Significant high-elevation features include Ruffneck Peak and the namesake Cape Horn Lakes, while the northwest corner of the sheet preserves the path of the Middle Fork Salmon River Wild And Scenic River as it cuts through the mountains. Small landmarks such as the Bradley Memorial Camp and Big Hole offer specific points of interest for local history and backcountry exploration.
