1957 Map of Cuprum

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Cuprum serves as the central hub of this high-elevation landscape along the Snake River, where the deep canyons of the Wallowa National Forest meet the timbered slopes of the Payette National Forest. This 1950s survey captures the region's transition from an active mining district into a managed forest wilderness. The map meticulously records evidence of the area's industrial past, noting the South Peacock Mine, Alaska Mine, and the Bluejacket Mine near several former town sites. While Cuprum remains the primary named community, the presence of Helena (Site) and Landore (Site) highlights the ephemeral nature of mountain settlements in the Seven Devils area. High-altitude infrastructure is represented by the Bear Guard Sta and Jackley Mtn Lookout, which overlook a network of pack trails and early roads connecting family-named landmarks like Lynes Ranch and Barrinaga Corrals.
