1963 Map of Casino Lakes

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Salmon River headwaters and the upper reaches of the Sawtooth Valley dominate this mountain landscape during the early 1960s. The map illustrates a high-altitude wilderness defined by the intersection of Challis National Forest and Sawtooth National Forest. Significant water features like the cluster of Casino Lakes, Garland Lakes, and Rough Lake are tucked into the high ridges, accessible only by a primitive network of trails and jeep trails. Human activity is sparse but notable, with the Salmon River Campground providing a base for recreation near the river, while a small Mine and a Gravel Pit indicate local extraction. For aviation in the backcountry, the Rough Creek Airport serves as a remote landing strip along the drainage of Rough Creek, a vital piece of infrastructure for forest management and remote access during this era.
