1967 Map of Short Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Challis National Forest land defines this Idaho landscape, characterized by high-elevation terrain where water sources are the primary landmarks. In the late 1960s, these slopes were mapped with a focus on seasonal hydrologic features, including a dense concentration of named springs such as Short Creek Spring No 1, Middle Spring, and Baby Creek Spring. The presence of several Corrals and a Water Tank near Dry Creek suggests seasonal grazing activity common in the Intermountain West during this era. High ridges and peaks like Garrett Rock, Squawtip, and the Rock of Ages dominate the central and southern portions of the quadrangle. Transport across the Donkey Hills and surrounding valleys relied on an established network of primitive routes, including a Jeep Trail, Pack Trail, and various other Trails that likely served local ranchers and early recreationalists.
