1969 Map of Howe NW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Challis National Forest defines the western edge of this topographic study, where steep mountain drainages transition into the broad Little Lost River Valley. The landscape is shaped by the desert-mountain hydrology typical of this Idaho region, as water flows from rugged landmarks like Buck Canyon and Cedarville Canyon toward the valley floor. The map records a sparse network of infrastructure in the late 1960s, consisting primarily of isolated wells and intermittent water sources such as Big Spring Creek and Uncle Ike Creek. This environment supported a ranching and resource-extraction economy, evidenced by the presence of a Gravel Pit and numerous fine red dashed lines indicating livestock fence lines that cross the Little Lost River.
