1963 Map of Duck Creek Point

About this map

Salmon National Forest dominates this section of the Idaho backcountry in the early 1960s, defined by a complex drainage system feeding into Yellowjacket Creek. Human presence is concentrated around the Yellowjacket Ranger Station and a nearby Campground in the northwest, while the rest of the terrain is accessible only by a single Jeep Trail and remote footpaths. The landscape is punctuated by high-altitude landmarks such as Duck Creek Point and Red Rock Peak, which overlook deep-cut valleys like Anderson Gulch and Meadow Creek.
