1965 Map of Lamont

About this map

Lamont and Judkins anchor this agricultural landscape along the border of Fremont and Teton counties during the mid-1960s. The Union Pacific railroad cuts directly through the northern half of the sheet, supporting local commerce evidenced by the Grain Elevator in both settlements. The geography is defined by deep drainage systems, most notably the winding path of Bitch Creek as it carves through the volcanic plateau toward the Teton River in the southwest corner. To the east, the terrain rises into the Targhee National Forest, where the higher elevations are marked by seasonal drainages like Swanner Creek and Tepee Creek. This survey captures the region just before significant modernization, showing a network of rural routes such as Pinochle Rd and specialized infrastructure like a remote Landing Strip, reflecting the high-altitude ranching and farming operations of eastern Idaho.
