1964 Map of Mt Jordan

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Mt Jordan and The General dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Challis National Forest, where the topography is defined by sharp ridges and drainages that feed the Salmon River watershed. In the early 1960s, the area remained largely roadless, characterized by a network of drainage systems including Lightning Creek, China Creek, and Tango Creek. The presence of several Prospects near the summit of Mt Jordan indicates a history of mineral exploration in these mountains, accessible by the Jordan Trail and a designated Jeep Trail. The southern portion of the map is defined by the West Fork Yankee Fork, a significant waterway that cuts through the base of Red Mountain. High alpine features like Mystery Lake and Lightning Lake reflect the glaciated character of the terrain, providing a detailed record of the wilderness as it was field checked in 1964.
