1972 Map of Elk Meadow

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Elk Mountain and the surrounding high country of Custer County are documented here in the early 1970s, showcasing a landscape managed for both utility and recreation. The overlap of the Challis National Forest and the Sawtooth National Recreation Area is evident, with seasonal activity centers such as the Cap Horn Forest Service Station and various campgrounds providing anchor points for travelers. The map reveals a specific industrial footprint with several prospects and tailings near Valley Creek, alongside a high-altitude landing strip and a network of pack trails and jeep trails that navigate difficult terrain. Landmarks like Trap Creek Narrows and Blind Summit serve as critical navigation points through the valley corridors and mountain passes.
