1967 Map of Dickey Peak

About this map

Thousand Springs Valley dominates this high-altitude landscape of central Idaho, where the Lost River Range meets the expansive valley floor. The small settlement of Dickey serves as a lone hub in this ranching and wilderness area, situated near the confluence of Willow Creek and Rock Creek. Steep drainages like Arentson Gulch and Dry Gulch define the western slopes, while the eastern horizon is anchored by the prominent Dickey Peak within the Challis National Forest. The map documents a critical hydrology for this arid region, showing numerous water sources such as Poison Spring, Scratching Post Spring, and the namesake Thousand Springs feeding into Thousand Springs Creek. The presence of several Water Tanks along the valley roads indicates the managed land use and livestock operations essential to the area's mid-century economy.
