1966 Map of Poker Peak

About this map

Caribou National Forest and Targhee National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape of Bonneville County, dominated by the prominent summit of Poker Peak. The mid-1960s topography reveals a remote interior defined by seasonal drainage and timbered ridges, where transport was limited to a network of established pack and jeep trails. In the northeast corner, the Snake River Palisades Res marks a significant hydrological boundary, with underwater contours provided by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. Local landmarks such as Bald Mtn Guard Sta and Jensen Meadow suggest the area's importance for forest management and grazing. The complex drainage system includes McCoy Creek, Sulphur Bar Creek, and the headwaters of West Fork Comb Creek, which cut through the steep terrain between Chicken Ridge and Black Mountain.
