1989 Map of Salmon
USGS Topo · Published 1989About this map
The Salmon River and Lemhi River converge in the late 1980s, anchoring a landscape where mountain mining meets river-valley commerce. This survey details the town of Salmon, showing its central core with the Post Office, Courthouse, and High School, alongside infrastructure like the Salmon Airport and Heliport. North of town, the Fairground and a Drive-in Theater highlight local leisure, while the rugged slopes of the Salmon National Forest to the west are dotted with extractive history, including the Queen of the Hills Mine and numerous unnamed prospects and adits. From the drainage of Jesse Creek to the summit of Morning Glory Peak, the map captures a period of transition for the county seat as it balanced its frontier mining identity with modern municipal expansion.
