1963 Map of Meyers Cove

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Meyers Cove sits at the confluence of several mountain drainages within the high-country border of the Salmon National Forest and Challis National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the deeply incised valleys of Camas Creek and the West Fork Camas Creek, reflecting an era of active mineral exploration in the Salmon River Mountains. Evidence of mid-century mining interest is scattered across the high ridges, including the Red Spar Mine and Big Lead Mine, along with a solitary Prospect near Hammer Creek. The map shows a transition from the light-duty road serving the settlement to an rugged Jeep Trail that climbs toward Fluorspar Ridge, tracing the path of the regional fluorspar mining boom. These remote camps and trails provide a detailed look at the infrastructure required to access isolated claims along Fluorspar Gulch and Antler Ridge during the 1950s and 1960s.
