1967 Map of Meridian Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Meridian Peak stands as the central landmark in this high-elevation wilderness within the Boulder Mountains, where the headwaters of the North Fork Big Lost River begin their descent. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the map detail focuses on the convergence of the Sawtooth National Forest and the Challis National Forest along the Custer and Blaine County line. This area is defined by its lack of established roads, relying instead on a system of pack trails and a jeep trail to navigate the steep drainages of Hunter Creek and Squib Canyon. A lone Prospect located south of Slide Canyon indicates the history of mineral exploration that periodically reached these isolated heights. The presence of named water sources like Little Fall Cr Springs and Spring suggests the vital importance of seasonal water for both livestock and early travelers crossing Hunter Creek Summit.
