1966 Map of Homer Youngs Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Continental Divide defines the spine of this high-altitude landscape, marking the boundary between Montana and Idaho and the shared border of Salmon National Forest and Beaverhead National Forest. High-country mining history is preserved at the Ajax Mine below Ajax Peak and the Ore Cash Mine situated along the slopes near Monument Peak. This mid-1960s survey documents a network of primitive access routes, including various jeep trails and a pack trail system that connects remote alpine waters. Glacial features dominate the topography, with significant clusters like the Stay-a-melt Lakes, Rock Island Lakes, and Upper Miner Lakes feeding into drainages such as Big Swamp Creek and North Fork Kirtley Creek. The map provides specific elevations for major summits, most notably Homer Youngs Peak, which anchors the central terrain.
