1967 Map of Salt Flat

About this map

The Emigrant Trail Lander Cutoff winds through the northeast corner of this 1967 survey, marking a significant historical path for westward travelers through the Bridger National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the dramatic topography of the Gannett Hills, where a complex network of canyons and creeks defines the terrain. In the northern reaches, Salt Creek and its associated salt springs provide a vital hydrological focal point near Allred Flat. This area served as a practical waypoint for travelers and forest users, featuring a Campground and multiple pack trails, such as the Packstring Pack Trail, that branch into the higher elevations. To the south, evidence of early resource exploration appears as Prospects near the headwaters of Little Muddy Cr, indicating the search for minerals along the drainage divides between Huff Creek and the Stoner Fork.
