1963 Map of Little Antelope Flat

About this map

Little Antelope Flat serves as the central focal point of this high-altitude landscape in central Idaho, where the high-country terrain of the Challis National Forest is defined by a network of seasonal water sources and rugged travel routes. The 1963 field check documents a remote wilderness managed for its natural resources, notably featuring the Hole-in-Rock Trail and numerous jeep trails that navigate the steep slopes between Red Hill and Table Mtn. This period of forest management is characterized by named water features essential for range and wildlife, including Gooseberry Spring, Opal Spring, and the perennial flows of Warm Spring Creek. The map illustrates the convergence of the Challis Mountains and the Pahsimeroi River Range, providing a detailed record of the drainage patterns through Devil Canyon and into the broad basins of Spud Basin and Crane Basin.
