1956 Map of Nicholia

About this map

The Continental Divide forms the northeastern boundary of this 1950s terrain, where the high ridges of the Beaverhead Mts and Lemhi Range descend into the broad Birch Creek Valley. The landscape reflects a history of extraction and mountain passage, notably marked by the Old RR Grade cutting through the valley floor and the remains of the Hahn (Site) near Quartzite Canyon. Small-scale industrial activity is evident through numerous prospects and kilns located in the foothills, particularly near Coal Kiln Canyon, pointing to a time when local timber and ore fueled the regional economy.
