1960 Map of Copper Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

White Knob Mountains and the Pioneer Mountains define this high-elevation landscape, where the headwaters of the Big Lost River and Little Lost River converge near the Challis National Forest. The map documents a working livestock and mining landscape in the early 1960s, evidenced by the Rosenkranze Ranch, several seasonal outposts like the Corral Creek Cow Camp, and the Copper Basin Mine. Human infrastructure is concentrated in the north at Barton Flats, which features the Barton Cemetery, Barton School, and the Mackay Fish Hatchery. A network of primitive transport routes including the Burma Road, Telephone Road, and a remote airstrip on Copper Basin Flat highlights the area's isolation. Surveyors noted numerous family-named peaks and basins, such as Lehman Basin and Bellas Canyon, alongside specialized government sites like the Copper Basin Guard Station.
