1989 Map of Carey Dome

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

The Salmon River carves a deep path through this 1989 Idaho interior, serving as the primary boundary between the Nez Perce National Forest and the Payette National Forest. This river corridor was a focal point for wilderness access and river travel in the late 1980s, evidenced by the Wind River Boat Ramp and the Vinegar Creek Boat Ramp. The mapping captures the wild character of the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness and the Gospel Hump Wilderness, where infrastructure was limited to foot travel and pack trails. On the ridges above the river, traces of mineral exploration appear at the Bullion Mine and Big Three Mine, while high-altitude surveillance is centered at the Carey Dome Lookout. Isolated outposts like the McMeekin Ranch and Hackett Cabin signify the scattered human presence in this steep, forested landscape.
