1969 Map of Copper Mtn

About this map

Copper Mtn and the high peaks of the Targhee National Forest dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Lemhi and Clark counties. The map captures a rugged mining and prospecting environment as it appeared in the late 1960s, evidenced by the numerous Mine and Prospect labels scattered across the mountain faces. Significant mineral interests are centered around Skull Canyon and the Copper Mine, while the survey also identifies the Uslm 1 United States Mineral Monument near the canyon's edge. Access to these remote reaches is defined by a sparse network of Jeep Trails and Trails that follow the natural contours of Bear Wallow Canyon and Long Canyon. Water sources are critical landmarks in this terrain, with Kitty Spring and Blue Canyon Spring providing essential points of interest for those traversing Chandler Ridge or the slopes of Bluebird Mtn.
