1963 Map of Sheldon Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Sheldon Peak and the high ridges of the Challis National Forest dominate this 1963 survey of the remote Idaho interior. The landscape is defined by the steep drainages of the South Fork Camas Creek and its many tributaries, including Hot Creek and Sheldon Creek. This high-elevation terrain, mapped during the early 1960s, reveals a primitive backcountry infrastructure centered around forest management and natural water sources. Near the boundary of Lemhi and Custer Counties, the Warm Spring Ranger Cabin serves as a lone outpost for wilderness monitoring. The abundance of geothermal and alpine features is evident in labels like Shower Bath Springs, Warm Spring Creek, and Fly Creek Point, illustrating how water and geology shaped the human footprint in this corner of the Salmon River mountains.
