1949 Map of Snowdrift Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Caribou National Forest dominates this landscape, where the Great Basin Columbia River Divide cuts through high ridges. In the late 1940s, this area of the Webster Range and Preuss Range was defined by remote outposts and high-altitude water sources like Goodhart Spring and Books Spring. Isolated structures such as Allemans Ranch, Trapper Cabin, and the Halfway House indicate a seasonal economy tied to ranching and timber. The drainage patterns are clearly defined, with Crow Creek collecting tributaries from Wells Canyon and Nate Canyon. Of particular interest to researchers is the presence of the Clear Creek Guard Sta and several Prospect labels, hinting at early attempts to locate mineral wealth in the Gannett Hills.
