1965 Map of Limber Jim Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Grande Ronde River carves through the heart of the Whitman National Forest in this mid-1960s survey, updated with revisions from the early 1980s. This high-altitude terrain in Union County is defined by the drainage of Limber Jim Creek and its forks, which gather at Limber Jim Meadow before joining the main river. The landscape bears clear evidence of industrial history, particularly the extractive operations focused on the south and east. Historic workings such as the Camp Carson Mine and Aurelia Mine are documented alongside extensive tailings and numerous scattered prospects. Remote high-country access is indicated by a network of jeep trails and a pack trail following the river. Notable landmarks like Marion Lake and Erickson Lake sit near the northern boundary, while lower elevations are marked by dozens of small gravel pits, reflecting the infrastructure needs of this timber and mining region.
