1962 Map of Goldbug Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Salmon River carves a deep, sinuous path through this section of the Salmon National Forest in the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by the sharp vertical relief between the river canyon and high points like Twin Peaks and Poison Peak, connected by the prominent Goldbug Ridge. Human activity is concentrated along the narrow river bench, evidenced by the Twin Peaks Ranch and its adjacent Airstrip, providing a vital link in this roadless environment. Smaller tributaries such as Iron Creek, Lime Creek, and Rattlesnake Creek cut into the ridges, while a Cable Crossing near BM 4240 shows the practical engineering used to span the water. A cluster of Prospects near Warm Spring indicates the persistent search for mineral wealth in the mountains long after the initial gold rushes of the region.
