1961 Map of Chinook Mtn

About this map

Sulphur Creek Ranch and the isolated outpost of Elk Meadow stand at the heart of this high-elevation backcountry during the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Payette National Forest, Boise National Forest, and Challis National Forest, where steep drainages like Pistol Creek and the Middle Fork Salmon River dictate the movement of goods and people. The map documents a late-stage mining landscape, with operations such as the Franklin D Mine, Lucky Lad Mine, and Cougar Mine situated along the high ridges.
