1966 Map of Caribou mtn

About this map

Caribou Mountain dominates the landscape of this mid-1960s survey, straddling the boundary of the Caribou National Forest across the Bonneville and Caribou county lines. The area is defined by its gold mining history, evidenced by the presence of the Monte Cristo Mine, Evergreen Mine, and the noted location of Caribou City (Site) near Iowa Gulch. These sites point to a period of extraction that shaped the local geography alongside grazing and high-altitude meadow use, such as at Morgan Meadow.
