1968 Map of Continental Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Continental Mine and the McLean Mine anchor the industrial history of this high-elevation terrain along the international boundary between Idaho and British Columbia. Located within the Kaniksu National Forest, the landscape is defined by the sharp divide of Continental Mountain and the deep drainage of the Upper Priest River. The presence of Tailings near Continental Lake and the various jeep and pack trails, such as those crossing Cabinet Pass, indicate a remote mining economy that relied on specific mountain corridors. From the meadows at Hughes Meadows to the heights of Snowy Top and Trapper Peak, the map captures a wilderness area where extraction and high-altitude surveying, marked by the Uslm 1 landmark, were the primary human imprints.
