1966 Map of Green Mountain

About this map

Green Mtn and Granite Peak dominate this mid-century survey of high-elevation interior Idaho, showing a landscape defined by forest management and rugged utility within the Nezperce National Forest. The map documents a period when lookouts and foot travel remained vital to backcountry operations, evidenced by the Lookout Tower atop the main summit and a network of both a Jeep Trail and a Pack Trail winding through the drainage basins. Water systems are highly detailed, with the East Fork Meadow Creek and Bargamin Creek carving deep valleys between ridges like Matteson Ridge. Small-scale human activity is sparse but notable, including a solitary Cabin in the southwest and scattered Prospects near the center, indicating the enduring interest in local mineral potential. This 1960s snapshot captures the wilderness character of the region before modern infrastructural shifts.
