1963 Map of Falconberry Peak

About this map

The Middle Fork Salmon River carves through the northeastern corner of this 1963 survey, serving as the primary drainage for a series of high-elevation basins within the Challis National Forest. Human presence is concentrated near the river corridor, where the Falconberry Ranch and Biggs Ranch represent isolated agricultural holdings in a landscape dominated by steep peaks and deep drainages. The infrastructure of forest management is evident at the Falconberry Guard Station and the Indian Spring Guard Station, while the Falconberry Landing Strip indicates the necessity of aerial access for this backcountry area. The terrain is marked by prominent summits like Falconberry Peak and Grouse Creek Peak, with Cougar Lookout providing a strategic vantage point over the complex network of creeks, including Loon Creek and Bear Creek.
