About this map

Custer and Bonanza stand as the primary centers of activity in this high-altitude landscape during the late 1910s, connected by the waters of Yankee Fork. The region's industrial footprint is anchored by the Sunbeam Mine and the Sunbeam Dam along the Salmon River, while the Fisher Mill on Fisher Creek points to the processing of local resources. Much of the territory is defined by the massive wilderness of Challis N F and the Sawtooth National Forest, where high-mountain peaks like Patterson Peak and Blackman Peak overlook Stanley Basin. Small outposts like the Stanley Valley Creek Ranger Station and Obsidian provide early structural markers of federal land management and settlement. The intricate drainage network of Loon Creek and Valley Creek illustrates the complex watershed that supported the mining and ranching economy of the era.
