1961 Map of Chinook Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Middle Fork Salmon River carves through this portion of the Challis National Forest, creating a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and a complex drainage network. Resource extraction is evident through several named claims, including the Portland Mine, Franklin D Mine, and Lucky Lad Mine, which are situated along high ridges and creeks. The presence of the Sulphur Creek Ranch and the Morgan Airstrip indicates a localized infrastructure for aviation and ranching amidst the high peaks. High-altitude observation points like the Morehead Mtn Lookout and Big Soldier Mtn Lookout provide fire surveillance over the surrounding drainages of Sulphur Creek and Pistol Creek. The map also captures the Valley and Custer County border as it traverses various summits, including Chinook Mtn and Walkers Peak.
