1922 Map of Custer

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

Stanley Basin and the surrounding high country of the Challis National Forest dominate this 1910s era survey. The mining settlements of Custer and Bonanza are shown along the upper reaches of the Salmon River, connected by early mountain trails. This landscape reflects the peak of early 20th-century resource extraction, anchored by industrial sites such as the Sunbeam Mine and Fisher Mill. Water management for these operations and local transit is evidenced by the presence of the Sunbeam Dam and the Valley Creek Ranger Station. Further south, the dramatic transition to the Sawtooth Mountains is marked by Redfish Lake and Little Redfish Lake, providing a clear view of the region before modern highway development fully opened the area to tourism. The map also traces the small community at Obsidian and various high-altitude landmarks like Patterson Peak and Railroad Ridge.
