1966 Map of Gibbonsville

About this map

Gibbonsville sits at the junction of the North Fork Salmon River and Dahlonega Creek, serving as a central point in this mountain landscape within the Salmon National Forest. The map documents a geography defined by the legacy of resource extraction, with numerous prospects, a Borrow Pit, and Tailings appearing along the river valley and tributary gulches like Cyanide Gulch. Above the valley floor, the Beaverhead Mountains form a significant boundary, where the Continental Divide separates Idaho and Montana.
