1962 Map of Long Tom Mtn

About this map

Salmon River and the Middle Fork Salmon River converge in this 1962 field-checked study of the Salmon National Forest. The landscape is defined by its verticality and river-centric utility, featuring backcountry landmarks such as Horse Heaven Lookout and the Airstrip near Ebenezer Bar. This survey provides clear documentation of river miles, marking Mile 197 through Mile 204, alongside cultural sites like the Indian Petroglyphs on the northern bank. Infrastructure is sparse but vital, represented by the Stoddard Bridge and primitive routes like the Bear Basin Trail (Jeep). From the high point of Long Tom Mountain to the depths of the river canyon, the map records the region's character as a managed wilderness prior to modern developments.
