1943 Map of Garns Mtn

About this map

The Snake River curves through the southwestern corner of this Idaho landscape, where high-altitude ranching and mining define the local economy during the mid-1940s. Established operations like the Idaho Mine, Brown Bear Mine, and Amikesell Mine are situated in the northern reaches, while agricultural life is represented by the Durrant Ranch and Galli Ranch located near the riverbank. This map illustrates the transition from the level terrain of Antelope Flat and Lufkin Bottom into the steep ridges of the Targhee National Forest. Local infrastructure is anchored by the Upper Pine Creek Sch, serving the scattered homesteads and settlements of this mountainous region. Prominent peaks such as Garns Mtn and Piney Pk provide a detailed topographic survey of the Snake River Range, showing the drainage patterns of canyons like Calamity Creek and Moody Creek.
