About this map

Stibnite and Yellow Pine anchor the human presence in this high-altitude landscape, where the legacies of mineral extraction and backcountry aviation are clearly visible. The map details a complex network of remote outposts and infrastructure, including the Thunder Mountain Mine, Dewey Mine, and Sunnyside Mine, highlighting the area's history as a mining frontier. These operations are supported by a system of wilderness airfields such as the Pistol Creek Landing Strip and Indian Creek Landing Strip, which provided essential access to these isolated peaks and canyons in the decades following the initial rushes.
