1962 Map of Mt Mc Guire

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Bighorn Crags dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Salmon National Forest, as documented in 1962. The area is defined by sharp granite ridges and a dense concentration of glacial cirque lakes, including the large Ship Island Lake and Big Clear Lake. Many of the smaller bodies of water carry descriptive names like Gooseneck Lake, Airplane Lake, and Barking Fox Lake, illustrating how late 20th-century surveyors and wilderness travelers identified specific pockets of this alpine terrain. Rising above these basins are several prominent peaks and ridges, such as Mt McGuire, the high Fishfin Ridge, and Dome Mtn. The map traces a network of unnamed trails, indicating the era's primary access routes through the Salmon River Mountains before more modern infrastructure. Waterways like Roaring Creek and Goat Creek drain these steep slopes, eventually feeding the larger river systems of Lemhi County.
