1962 Map of Goldbug Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Salmon River carves a deep path through this corner of the Salmon National Forest, defining the landscape with its serpentine bends and steep-walled canyons. During the early 1960s, human activity in this canyon environment was concentrated at the Twin Peaks Ranch, which featured a small Airstrip to facilitate access to this isolated Idaho interior. A network of steep drainages, including Briney Creek, Deer Creek, and Poison Creek, feed into the river from the high country of Goldbug Ridge and Long Ridge. Evidence of mineral exploration appears in the form of Prospects located near Warm Spring Creek, while a Cable Crossing on the river near BM 4240 highlights the practical challenges of navigating this vertical terrain. The map captures a transition point between the river corridor's ranching outposts and the high-elevation wilderness of Poison Peak.
