About this map

Mines and ridges define this 1978 survey of Targhee National Forest in Teton County, where the terrain rises sharply toward the peaks of the Big Hole Mountains. Evidence of early industry is scattered across the drainage basins, with locations like Mikesell Mine, Packsaddle Mine, and the Bellcut Mine indicating the search for mineral wealth along the steep draws of Packsaddle Creek. The presence of the Sam (Site) near Brown Bear Creek suggests the footprint of a former settlement or industrial camp that has since transitioned into an archaeological interest.
