1936 Map of Silvertip

About this map

Big Salmon Lake and the White River define the lower drainage of this mountain landscape as it was surveyed in the 1930s. The region is characterized by high-elevation ridges like Dean Ridge and the Limestone Wall, where human presence is marked by isolated outposts such as Limestone Cabin, Dean Camp, and the Pentagon Cabin. The presence of several remote airstrips, including the Meadow Creek Landing Field and Black Bear Landing Field, suggests a reliance on aerial access for management and supply in the backcountry.
