1959 Map of Kelton Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Cedar Creek (Old Stage Station) serves as a waypoint for travelers along the historical corridor crossing the Utah-Idaho state line during the late 1950s. This survey records a landscape defined by isolated family operations such as Vern Steeds Ranch, Morris Ranch, and Bar F Ranch, illustrating the sparse but persistent ranching economy of Curlew Valley. The western edge of the map is dominated by the mountainous terrain of the Sawtooth National Forest, where features like Crystal Peak and Tenmile Ridge overlook deep incisions like Green Canyon. The reliance on natural water sources in this arid basin is evident from the distribution of vital points like Emigrant Spring, Cedar Spring, and Pilot Spring. These springs and numerous Jeep Trails provided the essential infrastructure for movement between the higher elevations and the valley floor.
