1965 Map of Lamont

About this map

Lamont and Judkins anchor this agricultural and wildland landscape along the Union Pacific line in the mid-1960s. The region is defined by the dramatic incision of Bitch Creek, which winds through deep canyons across the center of the sheet, and the Teton River in the southwest corner. The presence of a Grain Elevator at Lamont and a Gravel Pit near Conant Creek suggests a local economy tied firmly to grain transport and material extraction. Public lands dominate the northeastern quadrant within the Targhee National Forest, including the topographic depression of Catt Hollow. Local infrastructure is further evidenced by a Landing Strip and the winding course of Pinochle Road, reflecting the rural connectivity required to service isolated homesteads and high-altitude timber or grazing lands.
