1968 Map of Connor Ridge

About this map

Albion Mountains and the Sawtooth National Forest dominate this topographical survey of southern Idaho, where high-elevation terrain gives way to deep drainages. The landscape is defined by the sharp rise of Connor Ridge and the Jim Sage Mts, separated by a complex network of canyons and hollows. Human activity is concentrated along the lower elevations, notably near the small settlement of Connor and the nearby Melcher Mine. Water management and recreational use are evident through the numerous charted springs, such as Bennett Spring and Rice Spring, alongside public sites like the Thompson Flat Campground and Twin Lakes Picnic Area. The map reveals a reliance on seasonal waterways and mountain access, with Jeep Trails and steep paths winding through White Pine Canyon and Broad Hollow, providing a detailed look at the rural and extractive infrastructure of Cassia County during the late 1960s.
