About this map

Bighorn Crags dominate the northwestern reaches of this high-elevation landscape, where a dense cluster of alpine waters like Skyhigh Lake, Turquoise Lake, and Reflection Lake are tucked into the steep slopes of the Salmon Mountains. This mid-century survey of the Salmon National Forest highlights the region's limited but critical infrastructure, featuring the Hoodoo Meadows Airstrip and the remote Snowshoes Cabin.

Industry and recreation intersect along the various drainages, with the Park Mine located near Blackeagle Creek in the south, while Crags Campground and Yellowjacket Campground provide access for early wilderness travelers. The map traces the rugged divide between Yellowjacket Creek and Hoodoo Creek, capturing the area as it was recorded during field checks in 1962, well before modern developments might have altered these remote mountainous trails and meadows.
